Josh is going bold!

Josh was just 18 months old when his parents discovered he had liver cancer. It was the beginning of a nightmare.

After six gruelling months he was in remission, but the treatment had taken a toll on his body. He faced constant health battles and his teenage years were marked by a feeling of otherness.  

“I felt like I was from outer space… I’d been pushed so far down by cancer that I needed the shoulders of a giant to stand on if I ever wanted to level the playing field.”

Get involved. It’s time to go bold to help teens facing cancer.
