Introducing our latest Voice to share her Scars of Gold… the beautiful and loving human that is Leanne.
Leanne shares her scars from spending the last five years living with incurable bowel cancer. 5 years ago Leanne found a lump in her neck which led to her bowel cancer diagnosis. Through the last 5 years Leanne has had over 72 rounds of chemotherapy; and opted to have a stoma rather than have the bowel anastomosis/reversal surgery which Leanne shares was the right decision for her.
Leanne’s story is another powerful reminder of how to face the unimaginable whilst being a mother, a wife and someone full of ambitions in life. After her diagnosis Leanne shares how she found herself and found the strength to live a more authentic life.
Thank you to Leanne for being another wonderful voice but also one of our artists for this campaign.
Scars of Gold is a health awareness campaign sharing the voices of 100 women facing their mortality at a young age with life changing or incurable health conditions, led by Dr Liz Murray and photographer Sammy Weston. Produced by the charity @mortalandstrong (No. 1209448)
