This episode is a very personal one for our CEO, Ludwina Dautovic. This month, July 2020, marks 10 years cancer free.
At the age of 44, out of the blue, she was diagnosed with a 14cm renal cell carcinoma on her left kidney.
Needless to say, she survived it, but the journey has not been an easy one.
With just a little bit of knowledge and a simple kidney health check, this might not have lost her kidney.
To commemorate this milestone, Ludwina would like to bring awareness to kidney health so that it can help prevent others going through what she did.

He is drawing on more than 20 years of commercial and leadership experience across industries including agriculture, sport, ticketing, venues and entertainment to bring people together to help save lives.
