Favourite quote:
Your life is an occasion...rise to it!

What I would have changed about my hospital experience...Haven’t had my hospital stint yet!

The most important lesson I’ve learnt in life….Never give up and look for the good even when the times are tough.

The people I love and why…LOVE my family. Without them these journeys would have been so much harder but with their support and love I can do it all.

My most memorable experience…Giving birth to my little girl! I was diagnosed with HL a week after finding out I was pregnant for the first time. I went through treatment and still had a healthy little girl at the end. The relief and joy was incredible!
