Dale Atkinson.
Faced with a diagnosis of Stage IV oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
Told it was inoperable. Incurable. Palliative care only.
His story is one of determination, curiosity and refusing to accept there was nothing to be done.
Like all four men in this campaign, he chose to become an active participant in his own care—refusing to be passive. Dale worked alongside his medical team, applying the same analytical rigour from his financial crime career to cancer - researching, learning, and making powerful dietary and lifestyle changes to support his health, and ultimately his cancer prognosis.
Stay tuned as Dale shares his story, and how agency altered his journey."

"Every cancer journey is different.
Diagnosed with Metastatic Prostate Cancer - spread to Lymph, and stage 4 melanoma.
John speaks openly about belief, mastering mind control and the emotional side of diagnosis - the importance of asking for help, and discovering new ways to support his health.
He read books. Took courses. And found the ‘right’ people to follow all the while learning to be courageous and trust his intuition.
His honesty challenges outdated ideas about masculinity and reminds us that vulnerability is a strength."

"Cancer affects more than the body".
Stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma. Large tumour on kidney. Several nodules found in the lungs.
Now fully healthy and clear of cancer.
Murray reminds us that resilience isn't about pretending everything is fine—it's about finding a balanced approach.
Eating a nutritious diet. Integrating holistic treatments. Nourishing the physiological, emotional and spiritual, and finding the strength to keep moving forward, one decision at a time. His story shows how small lifestyle changes, community and a positive mindset can become powerful companions alongside treatment."

Tim Messom
Advanced Colorectal Stage 3 Adencarcinoma. Invaded to lympth node.
Tim’s story demonstrates the power of hope, informed choice and taking ownership of your health journey – wanting to do absolutely everything that might help. Taking back control.
Tim advocates for mind over matter. Learning to control the mind – where thoughts become feelings and feelings become chemicals. Above all, believing in your choices.
Although every diagnosis is different, his experience echoes a message shared by all four men: there is always value in caring for the whole person."
