What brings you to this site?
I was looking to see if there were others my age going through the same thing.

Favourite colour/ music/ book/ food/ hobby and why (include as many or as few as you want):
I love music! My favourite is Backstreet Boys, Pink and Delta Goodrem. Fav book is Twilight series and Harry Potter.

My top tip for healing… my music is always used to relax me.

What I would have changed about my hospital experience...having a young adult ward would have been better instead of being around old people.

The things that help/ helped me get through treatment...my family, friends my music.

Surviving cancer has made me a better person because...when you are going through the worst, you sort of think about things more.

The person I’d most like to meet and why...Darren Lockyer… he’s my favourite football player…I love the Broncos & Delta Goodrem - her music saved my life!

The people I love and why…my mum - she is the closest person in my life and she got me through the hardest thing in my life.

If I had a million dollars I would...go to Disneyland, I have always wanted to go!!

My most memorable experience… when I was in hospital I met Petro Civoniceva - he was a Bronco at the time!

My perfect day would be...hanging out at a beach with my friends.

Happiness is...being healthy

Any final remarks? I just want to thank the Leukaemia Foundation for finding a place for my mum and me to stay when I was in hospital.

Thanks for being our feature Revive member!!
