Kim was nominated to receive a gift by her friend Sarah Carter who said: "Since her diagnosis, she has been so strong.

"She has raised a lot of money doing a brave the shave charity night, she raised above and beyond her target so was able to split the money between two charities and she is going on to do more charity events to raise more money.

"Kim has been very strong and has coped so well with this devastating news and has made sure her children have not been affected.

"She is such a strong woman but I believe in the last two weeks she has been struggling and feeling a bit down.

"I want to nominate Kim to show her she isn't on her own and that everyone is behind her. I think Kim would enjoy a day out with her children and family or a nice relaxing spa for after her treatment."
