Hello beautiful people,

I'm very happy to say that the first fortnightly meeting for young adults who have been or are on a journey with cancer (YA CAN) will be held on Monday the 5th of September from 6.30pm at 40 Rocklands rd North Sydney (the Poche Centre).

My intent with this group is to create a safe space where you can talk about what ever is important to you and allow you to connect with others who have been or are going through a similar circumstance.
