When Spencer was four, his parents Harley and Tristram were told he would eventually lose the ability to walk, then breathe on his own – and that his life would be shortened.

When Ruby was diagnosed with cancer, she looked up at her mum Laurie and asked if it would be as bad as when she lost a tooth. Laurie remembers thinking, “Darling, this is going to be quite a ride for you.”

Now in remission, she’s using her voice to advocate for children who haven’t been as lucky.
