A disabled great-gran battling a brain tumour took her first steps in three years for the hospice that saved her life. Lynn McMorrow bravely faced excruciating pain as she defied her illness to walk 1,000 steps around her local park in Ayr.The inspiring charity champion has used the services of the Ayrshire Hospice ever since her brain tumour and autoimmune disorders were starting to make her feel like she was “just existing.”The 62-year-old has been getting help managing her benign tumour which she describes is a “ticking time bomb” with 30 gruelling rounds of radiotherapy saving her sight after she was diagnosed in 2018.Six months later Lynn suffered a major fall after her legs went numb beneath her and surgery left her with metal plates and screws in her tibia.Now as the Hospice needs funds for their new £13 million extension Lynn wanted to give something back as she walked around the perimeter of Glencairn Park.The courageous gram-of-nine and great-gran-of-five with another on the way told Ayrshire Live: “I’d be dead if it wasn’t for the Hospice — they are my family.“They have motivated me and took care of me — I wanted to give something back.“I’ve not been able to walk for three years, I’ve got a brain tumour and so many autoimmune diseases that I’ve lost count — which means I’ve got a really weak immune system.“I had a fall in 2019 and I snapped my tibia in three places, which meant I had to get screws and a plate in it.“I’d be blind just now if I never had radiotherapy, I’ve had 30 sessions at the Beatson, although the tumour isn’t cancerous, it’s benign and inoperable — and there was a risk I’d lose my sight.“I get yearly scans to check on it, its like a ticking time bomb but recently there hasn’t been any change
