An inspring chat with Gavin O’Donoghue

It was so lovely to welcome Gav to our recent Zoom talk, where he shared his ongoing journey with such honesty and generosity. Gav spoke openly about living alongside cancer rather than being consumed by it, and how he continues to find positivity and meaning in everyday life, even when things are incredibly tough. He also talked about the clinical trial he’s about to embark on and some of the gentle, powerful tools he’s learned to use day to day to be kind to himself. His outlook was deeply inspiring and a real reminder of the strength that can come from compassion, hope and self-care.

We hope you enjoy the recording as much as we enjoyed the zoom chat,
