From Elite Athlete to Survivor to Speaker

My life was turned upside down. I was fit, fast, strong, and healthy. Then, out of nowhere, I was diagnosed with cancer—not once, but twice. It became a battle to find the courage to continue. Through my journey, I not only survived but I began to thrive amidst the challenges. Now, I’m ready to share what I’ve learned openly and honestly. I aim to spark hope, inspiration, and gratitude in you.

A Life Changed Overnight

At 23, I was one of the fastest 800m runners in New Zealand. I trained hard. I dreamed big. I had one goal in mind: to represent my country on the world stage.

Then everything changed. In the blink of an eye, I went from the track to the oncology ward. I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Not once, but twice. My life turned into a 10-year battle for survival.

It pushed me to the edge of what a person can endure. But I didn’t stop.
