I will always be in debt... ..to all the people who helped save my life. 💚
From the scientists who developed CAR-T (a therapy that reprograms your own immune cells to fight cancer) to the medical staff, admin teams and even the aviation teams who flew my cells to specialists across the world.
The work of many people, big and small, saved my life.
So when I was asked to join the Cochrane and Area Health Foundation Board as the Communications Director, it was a no-brainer. It's one step closer to repaying what I received.
Foundations fill gaps most people never see.
In the UK, a foundation-funded "hospital hotel" meant my husband and I could stay two minutes from the hospital for my daily checks - which made a huge difference for our experience.
At my first board meeting, I was proud to help present a $34,085 cheque to the Cochrane Urgent Care Centre for a new ice machine and waiting room chairs.
A reminder that small actions, can make a big difference.

And watch this space, as there's lots more to come 💚
