I am 39, live in Golden Grove and have just written my autobiography called Lupus Intus (The wolf within). This book highlights my journey spanning the past 25 years of living with chronic illness. I have encountered many obstacles: Lupus, Meningitis, Kidney Failure, Dialysis, Transplantation, IVF, Cancer scares, Depression, Addiction, Anorexia/Bulemia, Amputation and more!!
Despite this I am extremely happy and am self-employed, have travelled the world and volunteer my time and services for a variety of local charities.
I thoroughly enjoy guest speaking and wish to share my story with others. My most notable speech was at a VIP event at the Entertainment Centre in front of the ex-Mayor of New York, Rudy Guiliani in 2003.

This is an informative and comprehensive account that is honest, soul bearing and bursting with raw emotion, highlighting the unpredictability and fragility of life. A positive story laced with humour and set to inspire, motivate and empower people from all backgrounds. If you need to overcome anything in your life, you’ll want to read Lupus Intus.
