I’ve just been reading the lucid and quite refreshing blog of Sarah Gaffney called...
ZIMMAZIMMATHREECOURSEWINNER
...you just now with a name like that, it has to be good. It’s a mixture of health, style and art and as she says on the welcome page…
‘It all began in October 2016 when I was diagnosed with a Grade II Brain Tumour aged 29. I'm a Manchester based NHS Manager, MBA student and part-time painter refusing to be defined by illness and determined to live life to the fullest whilst navigating ‘treatment'. Here you will find musings about the things that matter most to me and bring me joy.’
This is really something - personal, warm and gently revealing in so many ways. Thank you for sharing Sarah. Read her blog HERE, or by clicking on the lippy.
