See the impact you’ve had on Georgia’s life

Submitted by Analytics oa on

Meet Georgia, a Canteen youth ambassador who was diagnosed with cancer when she was 5-years-old.

“Cancer changes your life and can create hurdles that you don’t even realise are there. Canteen is there for you if you need counselling, some mates or just a safe space. I’d recommend Canteen to any young person affected by cancer.

Thank you for supporting young Australians like me. It’s because of you I’ve been able to connect with other young people and learn to cope with the long-term challenges cancer brings. Thank you!”
