Today’s Positive Stories

Here are two uplifting stories to brighten your week:

Stephanie Seban's Triumph Over Terminal Cancer

Nearly 14 years ago, at the age of 32, Stephanie Seban received a devastating diagnosis: stage four breast cancer with a prognosis of just 36 months. After enduring years of misdiagnoses and ineffective treatments, her cancer was correctly identified as HER2-negative, leading to a successful treatment regimen. Defying the odds, Stephanie not only survived but also became a beacon of hope for others, co-founding a clothing and jewelry line, starting a blog, and actively supporting fellow cancer warriors. Today, she remains optimistic, planning future endeavors and emphasizing the importance of self-advocacy and finding new purposes in life. PEOPLE

Jack and Mimi: Faces of Courage at the Good Friday Appeal

The Good Friday Appeal, supporting Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital (RCH), shines a light on inspiring young patients like Jack and Mimi. Mimi was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia before her first birthday and underwent intense chemotherapy at RCH. Her resilience during the toughest times deeply moved her family. Jack faced epilepsy and a brain tumor diagnosis at just 14 months old, requiring surgery and relearning to speak. Now six, he is seizure-free and thriving. The exceptional care provided by RCH has been pivotal in their journeys, and the Appeal has raised significant funds to continue supporting such vital programs and research. HERALD SUN
