"Mum you know I'm gay right?!"

Marcellus knew he was gay from a very young age, but the fear of being rejected by his family prevented him from coming out until he was in his twenties.

Being named Young Achiever of the Year was such a mind-blowing moment for me and being able to dedicate the success of the podcast to my mate's memory means more than I could ever put into words.

Topics that've rarely ever been discussed are now being talked about publicly by people who've lived and breathed it and it could make all the difference to those who need to hear it.

@MovemberAUS's @zacseidler on the need for our school system to add mental health to the curriculum.

"They need to see that this is in their best interests and it needs to be offered to them in a way that makes sense."

When @charlesbrice shared his story on my podcast in 2019, he said he wasn’t going to let his disability stop him…
I was a TV reporter back then and he was starting his career.
Now he’s smashing out live crosses for @abcnews_au What an absolute weapon! #journalism #Disability

[Callum MacPherson @Cal_MacPherson]

Happy World Mental Health Day!
Here's a story for anyone who’s ever felt like a fish out of water with nowhere to go and no one to talk to...

Terrific story in @theTiser today featuring an incredible new treatment for chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) developed by SAHMRI's Professor Tim Hughes, that's reducing cancer to undetectable levels while mitigating the side effects.

It's a joy to watch those you've come up with burn bright and reach great heights.
You never know who you'll meet along the road and who they might turn into.
Respect to Ben & Liam for their humility and the fact they haven't forgotten where they came from. #radio #podcast

[Callum MacPherson @Cal_MacPherson]

Today is World CML Day.
CML is a rare blood cancer that just over 300 Australians are diagnosed with each year.
In 2019, Michael Bowen was one of them...
In 2021 he's in remission and sharing his remarkable story for @LeukaemiaAus

Michael Bowen, was 32 with a newborn when he got the shocking diagnosis that didn't make any sense...

It's World CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia) Day this Wednesday.
