Hey guys, I hope everyone is as well as possible.

I'm currently involved in a project called 'Scar Stories' which is "A group photographic exhibition held at Bleeding Heart Gallery, featuring portraits of young cancer survivors."

I thought I'd post this up (the above link) in case anyone was interested in taking a look. This is a project put together by a friend of mine, Jasmine who was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (tumour in the knee) around the similar time that I was diagnosed. (here's an interview/article she did quite some time ago- http://city-south-news.whereilive.c...iration-on-national-cancer-survivor-day/)

I met her through the CanTeen organization (http://www.canteen.org.au/) here in Aus and it's been great meeting others just like her. It's really genuinely helped me heal so much in the mental side of things. Just talking, relating with others experiences while doing fun, interesting stuff.. Simple, but it works.

If you'd like to keep updated with it & you're on Facebook, please 'like' the page once you click on the link I put at the top of this post. 11 of us have been photographed, all of us are cancer survivors in their youth. There's a guy called Chris I met recently who's had both legs, one hand, and all the fingers on his other hand amputated. He had a type of Leukemia and had a very bad infection. He's playing wheelchair rugby for Australia and is far fitter and stronger, and I even dare say happier then most. He's an inspiring guy. (Check out this video of him- http://www.ourworldtoday.com.au/video/chris-bond)

He's just one of many of us involved. I'm looking forward to the Exhibition. Sorry someone more attractive wasn't used for the poster ! Feel free to take a look at the page and check it all out.

Cheers !
