In each episode of Open, Emma Campbell (aka @limitless_em) will be joined by a very special guest to have an open hearted and authentic conversation about life’s challenges, triumphs and the messy and magical bits in-between. If the last decade or so has taught Emma anything, it’s that connection is everything and that whatever challenges we may face, if we can share the load with those who get it, if we can open up, feel held and heard then the steps ahead can feel a little less daunting.

42.#CancerBae founder, Will Wise: ‘This mess will be our message.’ From pro basketball to redefining what it means to live with stage four cancer.
On this week’s episode of Open, Emma is joined by former professional basket ball player, Will Wise. At the end of 2022, having had no prior symptoms, Will was diagnosed with Phaeochromocytoma - tumour of the adrenal gland and also, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 which is a rare disorder that causes tumours in the endocrine glands and organs. Wills’ life changed in an instant on what started off as a regular day, but whilst going through treatment and determined not to be defined by the disease, he founded #cancerbae - a movement focused on reshaping perceptions of cancer. Will uses his social media platforms to break down taboos and preconceived notions of what stage four cancer ‘looks like’ whilst showing that we can still say yes to and embrace life, in all it’s complicated glory.Follow Will on Instagram and TikTok - @willwise24 (cancerbae)Emma Campbell - @limitless_emwww.limitlessem.comOpen with Emma Campbell is produced by Pretty Fire Audio Productions @prettyfireaudioproductions
