Speaking at her graduation, Laura said: 'If someone tells me I can't do something, it makes me even more determined to do it and prove them wrong – my family knows that all too well. 'Thank you so much for all your help and support in funding her treatment, I honestly don't think she'd be here without it.' 'It's been so tough, working through sickness and fatigue and in little Airbnb's in Cologne with dodgy WiFi, but she did it and we could not be any prouder of her.
'Today she got a 2:1 in Politics, Philosophy and Economics.

On July 6 last year, the day of Laura's graduation, Nicola posted an update on her GoFundMe page praising her daughter's remarkable achievement. While studying for her degree, Laura was juggling her university work with pioneering cancer treatment in Germany, which came with its own challenges. In 2021 semi-retired Peter Kay joined the Nuttall family's efforts, hosting a Q&A session on glioblastoma in honour of Laura. Since her diagnosis, Laura and her family have launched a campaign to raise money for her treatment and have teamed up with charities including Our Brain Bank and The Brain Tumour Trust to raise awareness of glioblastoma. In other tweets from this week Nicola explained that Laura has not been able to consume much more than ice chips due to her declining health, but has said her daughter's pain is being managed well. 'When the gap gets long I hold my breath but she’s as tenacious in death as she was in life, despite a week without food or water. It read: 'The curtain’s half closed but the window’s open & we feel the breeze & hear the birds. Posting on Twitter today, Nicola shared a photo of herself holding Laura's hand and gave an update on her daughter's condition. Over the last week, Nicola, who posts on Twitter under the handle has said Laura's condition is rapidly declining and that, while her daughter is still fighting, the family has told her she 'can rest whenever she’s ready'. While fundraising for her treatment, they enlisted the help of Peter Kay who was semi-retired at the time. Throughout her journey, Laura and her family including Nicola, her father Mark, and her sister Gracie have shared updates about her condition online, through social media and the Doing it For Laura campaign. Despite being given just 12 months to live, the brave campaigner underwent operations, chemotherapy and radiotherapy and eventually went back to university in Manchester, where she graduated with a 2:1 in politics, philosophy and economics (PPE) last summer. Laura was diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma in 2018 when she was in her first year of study for an international relations degree at University College London. The 23-year-old graduate, who thought her symptoms were 'freshers' flu' when she first became ill five years ago, is with her family in Lancashire as her mother Nicola says her daughter is 'as tenacious in death as she was in life'. Laura Nuttall, the fearless brain cancer campaigner who graduated from university after her terminal diagnosis and raised tens of thousands of pounds for pioneering treatment, is receiving palliative care, her mother has said.
