As we travel to remote places and take on adventures around the world we meet people who may not enjoy the lifstyle we do in the 'lucky country'. So often, we are consumed by first world problems. We might see people in so clled third world countries as having 'nothing'. In reality, they have everything. They are genuinely happy, content and not consumed by first world problems. As visitors, we have an opportunity to gain perspecive and consider what really counts.

We can also take our health for granted. Assuming 'it won't happen to me'. When a good friend is robbed of his health, it gives us another opportunity to gain perspective and consider what really counts. Make the most of every minute or every hour of every day - tomorrow never comes.

So what about a donation to help the fight against cancer?

Today, 35 Australians will get the news they have blood cancer. That's another 35 reasons to support the Leukaemia Foundation's work – providing practical and emotional support to people facing the challenge of blood cancer, as well as investing in vital research to find better treatments and cures. Across Australia, 60,000 people are going through this in right now - please sponsor me and help me reach my goal.
