Bio

I was diagnosed at 28 and although my diagnosis of melanoma has changed my life, it has not changed my attitude. A positive outlook goes a long way for myself and others around me. All we can do is look forward and embrace each day for the gift that it is. I owe a lot of my strength to my long time boyfriend; I would not be able to get through some days without him reminding me of my strength.

2023: I am now almost 6 years NED!
