S2. Ep6.Ava and Eli survived Guillain Barre Syndrome and Neuroblastoma. Their parents, Jenny & Peter make the best of every moment.

Imagine that you are 18 weeks pregnant with your 4th child and your 3 year old daughter is struck down by the terrifying Guillain Barre Syndrome. You fear that she may die, but her life is saved by Australian Plasma Donors. 

While still reeling from the shock of this incredibly rare diagnosis, you birth a beautiful baby boy who is born not breathing and you fear that he may not survive. Against the odds he survives those first few weeks, only to be then diagnosed with Neuroblastoma when he is only 5 weeks old.  

And then your Mum is diagnosed with lung cancer. Sounds like this episode is going to be really heavy doesn't it? It is actually the complete opposite. This episode is a joyous celebration of life and making the best of every moment. 

This is Jenny Northey's story. Her and husband Peter share their story of Ava and Eli's journey's and how this had lead them to be blood donors and blood donation advocates.
