Jake Bailey came to Greymouth with the life education trust. Jake talked
about his battle with cancer. He had Burkitt's Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma,
which is the fastest growing cancer in the world, and he survived.
Then after telling the story about his battle with cancer he talked about the
life lessons he learned when going through cancer. He said that if you are
always resilient, kind respectful then you will know that you are a good person.
Then he said that you can fake being brave as long as you don’t show how
you feel on the inside and keep moving forward.

worries. He said ‘don't worry about the small things in life focus on the bigger
issues’. As well as talking about the worries in life he also talked about the
fears he had before cancer and how he overcame them.

His message to us was ‘we have a responsibility to live our lives not only for
us but for the children who can’t’. I think that Jake Bailey is an amazing person.
After his speech, it changed how I thought of worrying about the smaller things.
