Stephen Heaviside is a musician, writer, and adolescent and young adult - or A-Y-A - advocate. He's deeply passionate about helping to create community support, especially for those who've experienced challenging health and life situations.
A testicular cancer survivor, Stephen is now the program coordinator with the Cactus Cancer Society, where he volunteered before joining the staff. He has been involved with the AYA community for about eight years. In addition, he has worked with and volunteered for several organizations, including Stupid Cancer and Elephant and Tea.
In the podcast, he shares his testicular cancer journey with insights about the people he met and lost as friends and the healing role of music in his life.
