As many of you would be aware, British UK reality TV star Jade Goody is dying of cervical cancer and, as part of her plight to raise awareness for the disease, she is publishing a journal of her journey.

A popular Australian women's magazine is looking to speak to an Australian woman who is terminally ill from a disease and who has a young family she will have to leave behind.

If you are willing to be interviewed about this in the hope of raising awareness for the disease you will be interviewed and photographed for the article. You will also be paid generously for your time and have the story read back to you before it goes to print.

If this is you please email Amber Lewis on amber.lewis@pacificmags.com.au

Hi

I only half meet your criteria.

I have Leukaemia ... and have a 3 yr old daughter.

The half part is that my disease is now being treated with drugs and my outlook appears to be ok, but there is still a lot of uncertainty as the drugs have only been used for the last 8 yrs or so.

Prior to that the disease was almost always terminal, so the medium to long term outlook is unknown.

Anyway - feel free to read the link in my signature, and pm me if you would like to chat.

I am happy to do anything to raise awareness in the community, and would prefer any payment be donated to the Leukaemia Foundation.
