Simon Thomas, TV Presenter (Blue Peter & Sky Sports), has been through quite a journey in his life, from dealing with anxiety and panic attacks whilst working, and then losing his first wife very suddenly to a rare blood cancer.
“We went from [my wife’s] diagnosis at the start of the week to dying on the Friday” TV Presenter, Simon Thomas talks openly about how he and his son got through losing his first wife to acute myeloid leukaemia; a rare form of blood cancer. Navigating grief, and finding hope.
Simon made a big impact on our lives through his book; ‘Love, Interrupted’, his social media video blogs in the midst of some of the hardest times of his life, and his ‘Life, Interrupted’ Podcasts.
We wanted to discuss with Simon, what inspired him to share his struggles and story so early on, which has been such a lifeline to so many following his open and honest story.
Its a privilege to hear Simon talk honestly about his journey again and what motivates him each day to find hope, recovery and happiness.
