"I can say, ‘This is where I was, and this is what happened, and this is where I am now.’ I can help them through their journey – it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

“I’ve grown up and I’ve worked my arse off to be where I am today – hell yes, I’m proud of myself! My dad always tells me there’s one thing I am, and that’s a fighter, and I really am.”
