Join us on the premier launch of our show, The Grit Diaries: From Grit to Grace, with your hosts, Mon and Mazz!
On our very first episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with the amazing Anne Gately - Stage IV Melanoma survivor, passionate advocate for sun and skin safety, and changing the way us Aussies view our relationship with the glorified Bronzed Aussie image. Australia is the capital for skin cancer. I am a nurse so I see the effects of Melanoma almost daily, it is truly devastating.
Anne, author of "Sunburnt", Speaker, advocate for Sun Safety, and featured in the Documentary "Conquering Skin Cancer", released in November 2024 is a passionate leader in the education space that is turning the tide on Melanoma rates.
In our conversation, Anne unpacks her childhood beach lifestyle, her diagnosis, gruelling treatment and incredible road back to remission, and what's important to her now.
Enjoy our first episode, here on The Grit Diaries!
