Just Chats w/ Craig Birrell
from Just Chats Hosted by Matthew O'Mahoney
In this episode, I sit down with Craig Birrell. From growing up on a dairy farm, Craig’s childhood seemed to be a pretty average one, helping out on the farm every so often with his dad. It wasn’t until just after halfway of Year Nine that life as he knew it was about to change, with something most 14 year olds don’t really deal with. After going to the dentist with the thought that it was just some wisdom teeth coming through and causing some trouble, all of Craig’s teeth began to come loose and within a few months, he was diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma. Without a successful treatment, Craig was told he had two weeks to live. This experience has shaped Craig’s opinions and views as he found out how precious time is and that you do not have control like you think you do. This chat really is filled with honesty, strong opinions and everything is just put out in the open.
