Happy International Women’s Day ❤️ Today I want to celebrate and give a special shoutout to my little sister, Emily, who is a huge inspiration to me. In October, Emily was diagnosed with a brain tumour, news no one should ever have to face but At just 25 years old, it felt even more cruel. Emily was suddenly facing an uncertain road ahead, which led to her undergoing surgery in late January. Emily chose to be awake for the procedure and was unbelievably brave throughout. I couldn’t be more proud of her ❤️‍🩹 After everything she’s been through, Emily wants to give something back to others facing the same uncertainty following a diagnosis. She’s decided to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity by running a half marathon… and as the big sister, I can’t exactly let her do it alone! In September, we’ll be running the Great North Run together. Any donation would mean the world to Emily and all our family ❤️‍🩹
