Tuesday Males was born in Cummins. After losing her Dad suddenly to an asthma attack when she was young, her life has been nothing short of a rollercoaster since. No stranger to hospitals, Tuesday has overcome her fair share of adversity. It hasn't been easy but she is making the most of supports available to her. Once you listen to Tuesday's story, you'll be wondering when her autobiography is being released... we certainly are!!!
