Our Warriors Who Inspire Us

Hi, I’m David
I’m 18, from Queensland, and I’ve always been the kind of person who loves a good laugh, a bit of mischief, and the idea of exploring the world. In July this year, life threw me a curveball — I was diagnosed with a rare brainstem tumour called DIPG.
It’s not an easy road, but I’m determined to keep living life to the fullest. I’m passionate about music, spending time with my mates, and making memories with my family. Before my diagnosis, I’d been saving to travel through Europe — and that dream is still very much alive.
With a bit of help, I’m hoping to get the treatment I need and tick off as many adventures as possible.
