“Through the rollercoaster of events in my life, my brother has stood beside me every step of the way. He taught me that you only live once and you should make the best of it. When the losses and grief hit their hardest, he was there to make me laugh and pick me back up. Although we are now apart, he has instilled in me the confidence and motivation that it takes to be the best version of me.”
