This is When We Grow Up, the podcast where we ask where we’ve been, to know where we’re going.

Today hosts Marlee Silva and Nicho Hynes have an emotional, inspiring and vital conversation with Sue-Ellan Vasiliou. This proud mum of 3 is a picture of strength. She, alongside her husband, set up Little Legs Foundation, a charity dedicated to funding much needed research into childhood brain cancer, after the loss of their beautiful daughter Alegra at just 6 years old.

This one will definitely be a tough listen, it was tough for us to have the conversation, but Alegra's story deserves to be heard and there's so much hope in the research Little Legs has been able to fund so far. Check out the work Little Legs is doing via their Instagram or their website: https://www.llf.org.au/ @littlelegsfoundation

Huge thank you to Sue-Ellan for sharing with us in her first ever podcast interview.
