Sherrie Taylor was diagnosed with the devastating condition in 2005 and doctors gave her just one year to live.

Three years on, Sherrie has proved the doctors wrong and is fighting the tumour. She has already endured 18 months of gruelling chemotherapy and radiotherapy but for the past year has been treatment-free, under doctor's recommendations.

Now Sherrie, who lives on Rotherham Road, Killamarsh, with husband Paul and sons Ben (18) and Sam (14) is hoping to raise £25,000 to fund research into the disease.

"I wanted to make money for brain tumour research and I have done it because I want a cure, I don't want to die," said Sherrie (45).

She has teamed up with karaoke kings and queens in her local pub, The Crown, in Killamarsh, to put the CD together.

Sherrie admits she had never sung a note before being becoming ill but decided to take up singing classes and performs the classic Dream a Little Dream of Me on the album.

"I thought if I don't do everything now, I may not get another chance," she said.

"I have really enjoyed putting the CD together and, if it is a success, we may bring out a Christmas CD."

The disc of karaoke favourites, called The Crown Jewels, was recorded at Sheffield's Adrenalin Recording Studio.

It will be launched on September 5 at The Crown pub from 8pm and afterwards it will also be on sale at Killamarsh Post Office priced £5 and for one day only, on September 13, at Dobbies Garden Centre, Barlborough.

Proceeds will go to the Clifford Robertshaw Trust Fund brain tumour charity.
