Cancer campaigner Nicky Newman has died, with the news announced in a heartbreaking post penned by Nicky herself.
Known for her catchphrase, ‘go grab life’, Nicky Newman from Surrey shone a light on the importance of making the most of each day and ceasing every opportunity.
An emotional post shared by Nicky’s husband Alex on Instagram shared the tragic news that Nicky had passed away this week aged 35.
The post was previously penned by Nicky in preparation of her death: ‘If you’re reading this it means I have died, I made it 5 and half years though, not bad for a stage 4 breastie ey.’
Despite the heartbreaking news, Nicky remained upbeat in the post and continued to pursue her message to viewers: ‘GO GRAB LIFE! You never truly know what is coming around the corner – so don’t take anything for granted.’

“So please promise me to cherish those around you and give your friends and loved ones the biggest squeezes! GO GRAB LIFE! You never truly know what is coming around the corner – so don’t take anything for granted.
Nicky was first diagnosed several years ago while in the midst of fertility treatment with her husband, when she noticed a change in her breast and complained of severe back pain.
Within a week, she had tragically miscarried and been diagnosed with incurable metastatic breast cancer.
Ever since then, she’s loudly shouted about the need to celebrate life and supported some brilliant businesses and charities, like Lounge underwear and Women’s Best.
