"I never thought I'd come here again" - the girl who made it to Parklife thanks to her inspirational trainer

Keira didn’t think she’d ever come to Parklife again. Now 22, she came for the first time in 2017, and then again in 2018 and the last time in 2019. She’s always loved electronic music.

She was diagnosed with a brain tumour three years ago, and has been recovering ever since from the treatment that has left her severely disabled. She’s gone full-on flouro with her outfit today, with bright orange cargo pants and a bright orange bikini.

“When I was asked if I wanted to go to Parklife, I said ‘well, yes… but how can I?” she says. But she’s here, and she loves it. “I never thought I’d ever come again. So it’s all kind of new, in a way,” she says. A lot of it is just how she remembers it was, though now she needs a little more help.
