Ever wonder how one man's battle against cancer could transform into a beacon of hope for countless others? Join us as we sit down with Michael Wiesenthal, a former acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patient turned CanCare volunteer, who shares his inspiring journey from diagnosis to becoming a lifeline for cancer patients.
As a volunteer, Michael sheds light on the deep, meaningful relationships formed with cancer patients and the immense sense of empowerment that comes with wearing the blue lab jacket in hospitals. You'll hear heart-warming stories of personal growth and strengthened bonds and understand how the act of giving back can be a powerful tool in one's own recovery journey.
