Rest in peace.

Cervical cancer campaigner Lynsey Bennett has sadly passed away.

She was only 34 years old.

Lynsey’s family confirmed the devastating news this afternoon. She passed away on October 27th.

“It is with great sadness that the family of Lynsey Bennett wish to announce that Lynsey passed away peacefully last night.

“Lynsey was a very special person.

“Lynsey’s beautiful girls, father, sisters, family, and friends are heartbroken at the passing of Lynsey at the young age of 34 years and would appeal for privacy at the moment.

“Funeral arrangements will be announced shortly.”

Lynsey was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2017.

In September, Lynsey wrote about how loved and supported she felt.

She shared, “My house has been buzzing with family and friends and I feel so loved, still some friends and family to speak with about all that’s happening.”

She also told her followers she was “working on me”.

“I am still very much here I have been working on me and the best way to release something that has been truly physically and psychologically damaging and had me holding onto pain and trauma, in my life.”

Lynsey is survived by her daughters Zoe (14) and Hailee (9).
