Kirsty's Cardiac Cancer

Kirsty Smitten sadly passed away on 4th, October 2023, following a brave and courageous battle against cardiac-angiosarcoma cancer.

My little sister was a determined and extraordinary young woman, who had carried out groundbreaking scientific research to help save the lives of millions. During the most vulnerable and difficult time in her life, Kirsty’s kindness and determination to help those in need did not waiver. She created a Facebook group to provide those diagnosed with cardiac-angiosarcoma with guidance and moral support; through her local football team she helped to raise money for food banks across Sheffield; shared her cancer journey through blogs, Instagram and TikTok, in order to spread awareness.

My sister leaves behind a legacy of charity and generosity that touched the lives of many in need. We want to continue her work and look to setup a charity in Kirsty’s name or donate to Sarcoma UK.
