A Tale of Two Cancers and how The Saatchi Bill could change the future

17 September, 2013 by Emma MacDonald 3 Comments

In 1950, the survival rate for childhood leukaemia was 20%. Prior to that, the child was “made comfortable”. In 1994, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. The survival rate was 70%.

On the feed run this morning, with Farmer Emma dri On the feed run this morning, with Farmer Emma driving the tractor. There's a partition screen in the middle to seperate families. It's strange that Farmer Nick and Farmer Fiona aren't here, but Farmer Emma and Farmer Anya are doing a fabulous job! Our twins have bonded with Emma and Anya's twins, so they want to spend every moment on the farm now, instead of going out for day trips!

I love that the feed run gets me up and out in the fresh air early in the morning. Makes our days feel longer and us feel more awake. It's easy to forget what's going on in the world, when you're in such a beautiful place, surrounded by nature.
