Strangers pay for wedding for mum diagnosed with tumour while pregnant

A mum who was diagnosed with a deadly brain tumour while pregnant has been able to book her wedding - thanks to a fundraising stranger.

Bethany Wright, 26, and Cameron Murphy, 29, will tie the knot on Valentine's Day next year.

The pair met in 2022 and fell in love instantly, but Bethany was diagnosed with a grade three brain tumour in March 2024, while she was 34-weeks pregnant with their son Alfie, now one.

Bethany had an operation to remove 85 percent of the tumour followed by 33 sessions of radiotherapy.

She was undergoing 12 sessions of chemo but has had to stop because of the side effects - reducing the time she has with Cameron and Alfie, she said.

Bethany's dearest wish is to marry Cameron before she's too sick, and a kind stranger, Shane Yerrell, 41, raised nearly £3,000 which the couple have used to book their wedding venue.

Shane, a support worker from Waltham Abbey, Essex, UK has been fundraising for strangers since 2011, and has raised money by walking the Great Wall of China and climbing Kilimanjaro.

He created a JustGiving page to raise the money for Bethany and a heartwarming video shows the two meeting.
