Cancer to me is not a blessing, nor is it a curse, its somewhere in between. Cancer has been the biggest challenge I have ever faced, and possibly will ever face.

Cancer has given me moments of anger, sadness, isolation and confusion, but it has also given me hope, maturity, strength and resilience. I feel so passionate about bringing people with cancer together because the thought of another 19 year old, diagnosed with cancer, feeling isolated and alone, like me, breaks my heart.

I will do as much as I can to support YCE to help change other young peoples lives for the better. My name is Bradley and I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia at 19.
