Nick started the Jodi Lee Foundation after losing his wife Jodi to bowel cancer when she was just 41.
She had mild symptoms so went to a GP, and the following night she was being flown to Bangkok for emergency surgery.
Nick was then told in the waiting room that Jodi had Stage 4 Bowel Cancer and had 2 years to live.
Nick has since gone on to create the Jodi Lee Foundation - dedicating his life to raising awareness around bowel cancer and helping Australians to act before it gets too late.
I wanted to chat with Nick to hear what it was like for him, from the moment Jodi was diagnosed, how they broke the news to his 2 kids, and the impact Jodi’s legacy has had on bowel cancer awareness.
