The Stars Will Still Be There: What My Daughter Taught Me About Love, Life and Loss

Nicola Nuttall is the proud mum of Laura and Gracie, and lives in Barrowford, Lancashire, where she runs Giddy Kippers, an indoor play centre, with her husband, Mark. Since losing Laura to the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), Nicola has become a passionate fundraiser, speaker and campaigner, raising awareness of the cancer and working with charities such as the Brain Tumour Charity and Brain Tumour Research to call for better, kinder treatments for those diagnosed with brain tumours. Nicola can be found on X (Twitter) as @shitscaredmum, the account she set up as an outlet for the rollercoaster of emotions experienced while caring for her daughter. She is a trustee of the charity Our Brain Bank and runs the Be More Laura Foundation, which funds research into glioblastoma. She also runs the website www.bemorelaura.com, where further information on many of the issues covered in this book can be found.
