MAKE EVERY OBSTACLE AN OPPORTUNITY !

Leukaemia is by no means a walk in the park - positivity is the best medicine (well maybe behind morphine and my favourite enternox gas). You`ve got to fight ! Nobody can give that kind of confidence to a Cancer patient - we`re born with it :-) . It can`t be faked ... that`s why we are the lucky ones .

After this recent ordeal, and with my recovery prospects still looking doubtful, I was in need of inspiration. Fortunately, one of my great inspirations in struggling against impossible odds, Johnny Clegg, was playing a music concert in London. Meeting him, and the words of encouragement he provided renewed my will to fight this impediment and strengthened my resolve to find a cure for Leukaemia from which mankind can benefit .
