After being a CIMPSA Level 3 Personal Trainer for 5 years and leading a very active lifestyle, training for an Ironman, Duathlons, Triathlons and coaching everyday, my world was completely turned upside down in 2020. Not the pandemic as you may think, but in May 2020 an accident involving my spine result in paralysis in my left leg. A gruelling emergency spinal surgery got my movement back but just as I was deep into rehab, in July 2020, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at the age of 25. I was given an initial prognosis of 2 years to live however, after changing hospitals, we have plowed my body through every treatment to find a cure. Brain surgery, chemotherapy, Cyberknife radiotherapy to my skull, medically induced menopause and targetted therapy drugs I still take today. 12 months after treatment began, we got the unexpected words that I have had a complete clinical response to treatment and have been living cancer free for over a year now. I trained all the way through treatment and I vowed to make this accessible for everyone, so I am now a full time Level 4 Cancer Exercise Specialist, providing 1:1 and online training to help anyone anywhere get through treatment.
