Megan is determined to live life to the fullest
Cancer has taken so much from Megan over the past two years, and she is still undergoing treatment, but that’s not going to stop her making the most of every moment.

Megan was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in 2019. Now at 18, cancer has disrupted Megan’s life for over two years, making study, socialising and following her passion for fitness a challenge. She is thankful for your support and the support of her close school community who are raising awareness and money for Redkite to support her and other children facing childhood cancer.
When a young person is diagnosed with cancer, Redkite is there for them. They can talk to a Redkite social worker about anything and everything, helping to make the most challenging experience of their life a little less daunting.
