Episode 39 - Cancer Doesn't Discriminate with Martine Dines

On this weeks episode, I've been chatting with the inspirational, Martine Dines. Martine was just 29 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and since then has decided to document her journey in order to help others. She has faced many ups and a lot of downs throughout all of this, including her battle to get her parents into Australia to be with her during the height of the pandemic. Martine and her fiancé Sean are such genuine, down to earth, kind people and it's been such an amazing journey. It's an eyeopener to us all and hopefully a ray of hope for those going their own cancer journey.  Thanks so much to Martine for sharing her story with all of us! x As you may have seen on my socials, I decided to step outside my comfort zone a little bit recently and set up a Ko-fi account! A ko-fi account is basically where, if you like my podcast and my content, you can donate me the price of a coffee (COMPLETELY optional!)I feel so weird doing this for a load of different reasons but, at the same time, I put a lot of time and effort into what I do. I also said at the start of this year that I wanted to do this full time so I need to stop acting like things are just going to fall into my lap and make a few adjustments. As I said, it’s completely optional and it’s basically a case of if you like what I do and wouldn’t mind buying me a coffee then happy days and if you don’t then don’t and that’s absolutely fine too! If you would like to then the link to do so is here: https://ko-fi.com/aislinndowling Thank you SO much to everyone who has already bought me a coffee!!! It does not go unnoticed and I am so appreciative of your support!!  This episode is proudly sponsored by FM fragrance parlour which is run by the lovely Mary Timoney.
