Last year, 29-year-old, Ella was about to move overseas and begin an OE of a lifetime, when she discovered a suspicious lump in her breast that changed everything. She received the devastating diagnosis - breast cancer.
“I had days where I could barely get out of bed. I went from having long hair to being completely bald. I think for a women, in particular that’s really difficult.”
The treatment and travel to and from the hospital took an immense toll on Ella. Then she was able to stay at a Cancer Society lodge.
