On Mother’s Day in 2015, Leisa Renwick was diagnosed with stage-four melanoma.

Now, the Tauranga mother of three is in remission and is a fierce cancer campaigner who has been unveiled as an ambassador for an Australasia cancer advocacy group.

When Renwick was diagnosed, she was told there was nothing doctors could do and she had just weeks to live. Little did she know that would be the beginning of a bold campaign to make treatment for melanoma more available.
