129: Kelly Foran was diagnosed with a massive brain tumour at 8 months pregnant

Kelly Foran was eight months pregnant when doctors discovered she had a massive brain tumour. She was rushed to hospital where the fight was on to save not only her, but her baby boy who was born with a life threatening illness. There was more heartache ahead when Kelly suffered a stroke during surgery to remove her tumour. It Left her unable to walk, talk or care for her son for several months. Her family had to navigate the complex health system in the big smoke alone for years. And that inspired her to create Friendly Faces, Helping Hands, a charity that assists rural and remote families to access health services and provides support to families in hospital. The foundation has helped thousands. This is her story.GOLD SPONSOR: When your lifestyle lends itself to jeans and a shirt, it’s such a treat to ditch those and hop into something a little different-an outfit you feel great in really can give you a whole new air of confidence.
