Blogger Dying through Tumour

The Blogger died the day before she was due to get married.

Anna Louise Swabey
Anna Swabey, 25, was diagnosed with a brain tumour two years ago and was initially told she may have as little as three months to live.

Soon after her diagnosis, she began the blog Inside My Head and met her fiancé Andy Bell, who knew about her condition from the beginning.

 The pair had planned their dream wedding in the Yorkshire Dales on Saturday but her condition deteriorated sharply last month and her family confirmed she had passed away on her Facebook page on Friday.

Family:

A family member wrote: "Anna passed away peacefully in the early hours of this morning.

"I cannot put into words the heartbreak we all feel, but amongst our sadness, we are so proud of her courage, her spirit and the determination she showed throughout her illness.

"If ever there was a person to show us how to live, it's Anna Louise Swabey, our beautiful, brave girl."

"To Andy and her family, Anna was still 'Anna' and not 'Anna with a brain tumour'. This was important to her although she never shied away from reality, giving her time selflessly through interviews to help raise awareness of the disease and the appalling lack of funding to improve outcomes for patients.

"She proved herself to be a great fundraiser too, showing a gritty determination as she set herself the target of raising £100,000 for the Brain Tumour Research Campaign in order to help Kevin and his team at Imperial continue their pioneering work.

"Another bright light has gone out. Another young person has been taken by a brain tumour, this most cruel and crippling of cancers which kills more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other just one per cent of the national spend has been allocated to this devastating disease.



"Anna loved the fact that she could make a difference. She certainly did that and I am so proud that I had the opportunity to know her."
