Fuzzy joins us this morning to tell us a little more about it.
If you’re in Melbourne on this Saturday 2nd April, make sure you get down to the Video Hits National Youth Week Concert from 1pm for great entertainment, free giveaways, street performances and more.

This morning she shares a little of her incredible story and offers some hope and inspiration for those living with the disease.
Karen’s book, Enemy Within, is available now in all good bookstores and online.
