This week Life Matters on ABC Radio National is celebrating their 30th Birthday. The program is celebrating by asking former presenters to share memorable moments from their time on the show.
This is Julie’s birthday message to celebrate her time on-air from 2000 to 2005, initially co-hosting with Geraldine Doogue for three years and then solo. It was a very happy time.
I would love you to take a huge leap forward into a topic that is still struggling to be addressed. We have worked out ways to discuss and address breast and colon cancer but we desperately need to work out ways to publicise and address cancer of the Vulvar. This is definitely a part of a woman’s body which everyone is really reluctant to discuss. I hope you are brave enough to take the task on for all women! Doreen Akkerman, AM
