On this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Danny De Brabander, Bowel Cancer Warrior and founder of #TeamDDB the bowel cancer awareness charity. Danny was brave enough to share his harrowing journey through his ongoing fight with Stage 4 Bowel Cancer.  Including what it has been like dealing with cancer treatments, surviving life threatening sepsis and having 60% of his liver removed in February of this year! His kindness, positivity, warrior mindset and desire to help others despite his diagnosis, near death experiences and challenges of living with Stage 4 Cancer, is nothing short of awe-inspiring! Danny's drive to turn a negative into a positive inspired him to start #TeamDDB, a bowel cancer awareness charity which has raised over £40,000 to date in an extremely short space of time thanks to his leadership and fundraising efforts! Passionate about raising awareness of Bowel Cancer and the importance of recognizing the symptoms and signs of this life threatening but curable disease when caught in the early stages.  His mission to raise awareness and break the stigma round speaking up and seeking medical help for this form of cancer is literally saving lives! You will not want to miss this! Your life could depend on it!

This episode, we are joined by a true gentleman, Nick Dunn, ex-parachute regiment veteran and author of 'Surviving Hell'.   Nick gives an emotional no holds barred account of his unbelievable and harrowing story of survival.   After suffering a brutal miscarriage of justice, Nick, along with 22 other men, spent over four years falsely imprisoned in some of the most horrific conditions in the South Indian prison system.   Listen to find out how he survived and how his training and experience serving with the elite fighting force of the 1 Para regiment helped him physically and mentally endure such a traumatic ordeal.   For me, the most inspirational part of Nick's story is his level of resilience and ability to grow through adversity.  No matter what horrors he encountered and traumatic emotional scars he may bear, he has come out the other side with a smile on his face, love in his heart and a desire to be a better man.   If you'd like to find out more about Nick, you can connect with him on Instagram Click here to purchase a copy of his incredible book, 'Surviving Hell'.
