Grace joins Stuart and Abby to share her journey and role as an ambassador for Teenage Cancer Trust, reflecting on the importance of age-appropriate cancer care and dedicated spaces for young people. They discuss the comfort of parental support, the strength found in shared experiences, and the community built through social spaces like the “Chill Room” in the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit in Glasgow. Grace opens up about balancing her public persona with private challenges, touching on identity, social media pressures, and authentic friendships. Audience members share how Teenage Cancer Trust helped them move from reluctance to embrace peer support, forming lifelong bonds and finding continued care beyond remission. Grace closes with empowering advice to young people: believe in yourself, even when you have to “fake it till you make it,” and stop worrying about what others think
