From a career driven go-getter to fighting for her life

Leigh-Ann is a cancer survivor, who although is very shy, plucked up the courage to share her cancer journey with everyone at a breast cancer awareness campaign Discovery held in 2016. Even though it was her first time, speaking to an audience, she shared her very emotional story, which left the crowd crying and laughing at the same time.
