BRAVE Sally Cunnane found more than just fitness after double kidney failure and a cancer scare inspired her to become an aerobics instructor.

She almost lost her life more than 10 years ago, but found unlikely love with the Oxford Don who guided her through her studies.

The 42-year-old married Tom Cunnane, 57, in March after a romance which formed after a decade of friendship and education as she rebuilt her life.

She said: After this bout of illness I wanted to get back to fitness and earn a bit of extra money.

I was already a member of the Oxford Hotel gym and my parents funded the course for me.

Ive been teaching for 10 years now and Ive had a fantastic time and got to know a lot of people locally.

Mrs Cunnane first started feeling unwell at the age of 25 having returned from several years living abroad after she graduated from Oxford Brookes.

She was experiencing vomiting, high temperatures and severe weight loss, eventually dropping to less than six stone.
