Speech Testimonials

" My observations. You-wise, I enjoyed the show. You are such a contagiously wonderful person. I think one of your by-lines, that your show saves lives, is true, in many different senses, with your humour, and in particular the cancer humour & the willingness to 'go there'. In my view, it creates a stronger platform for both cancer sufferer, family member & advocates to heal on different levels. Also on the level of just encouraging people to love & communicate, cancer or no cancer."
