Brave 26-year-old mum Karlah Daly from Leeds is battling stage 2, grade 3 breast cancer, and had her first round of chemo just weeks ago leaving her "very poorly".

The young mum lives in Morley with her two-year-old son Ezekiel who motivates her to keep going. Telling Leeds Live that "there's no point being sad", despite "the brutal chemotherapy", likely hair loss, and pressure on her mental health.

Karlah is passionate about spreading awareness and sharing her story on social media - using her Instagram account to urge young women to "check their boobs", reminding her young followers "you're never too young to have cancer". Since her diagnosis, lots of young women have flooded her inbox, one telling her "if it weren't for you I wouldn't have got checked."
