It was wonderful to get in front so many generous people and speak at the Life’s Good fundraiser supporting cancer research at SAHMRI. It is always a privilege to share on important topics such as this one. An important lesson I’ve learnt from my family’s lived experience with cancer, and the privilege of caring for people with head and neck cancer, is not to underestimate the profound impact that simple kind words and actions can have. Spending that extra time with someone to let them be heard, may not take a lot of time out of your day, but could mean the world to someone facing the daily battle for their life. There is a strong ripple effect which then helps the loved ones who are connected to that person too. So let’s give generously in the ways we can, whether that be through donations to support cancer research or cancer support groups, and also remember to give generously through kind words and actions.
