Heartbreak as inspirational woman, 23, given months to live after devastating diagnosis dies
Tributes have been paid to an 'inspirational' student and brain cancer campaigner following her tragic death.
In 2021, comedian Peter Kay came out of retirement to raise money for her treatment, and hosted two live Q&As in her honour. She had to travel to Cologne every six weeks for the treatment, which was made even more difficult by coronavirus restrictions. However, she responded so well that she was able to restart her studies at The University of Manchester.
Laura, from Barrowford in Lancashire, continued raising money and awareness for brain charities, as well as promoting the research being undertaken at The University of Manchester’s Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre. In a heartbreaking tweet this morning, her mum Nicola announced that she had passed away - remaining "fierce and tenacious to the end".
