    About this Episode

    SPECIAL GUEST
    Natalie is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Salford, and a founder member of the Salford Institute for Dementia. Natalie is also receiving treatment for cancer — her fifth cancer diagnosis since the age of 19. Despite Natalie's health setbacks, she hasn’t let it interfere with her life and has gone on to tackle some amazing physical and mental challenges. We visit Natalie (and her two dogs) to find out more about her story and what keeps her going.
