Helen Rollason-Life’s too Short

I used to watch Helen Rollason present the sport bit on the news, and as a journalist on many great events. You never think these people are untouchable, it’s a shock when you hear they have cancer and even a greater shock when you die. You don’t expect it, you don’t know them but you are used to them. And one day they die, you feel sad for a person you don’t even know.

I did and that’s why I bought this book. It’s a moving story of the TV presenter who courageously fought a losing battle against cancer. With cancer death is inevitable but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it, you can either fight and live every minute of your life or dwell in self-pity. She died fighting and gave us tremendous hope.

In the autobiography, she reveals her pain, her despair and her courage to defy the odds, to continue a normal life for her daughter’s sake. For two years she continued to work, the book reveals how she dealt with problems and how her colleagues where a great help to her.

It’s a great book, sad yes but it gives you hope. Makes you want to live every moment of your life. And sad because cancer is so destructive and can happen to all of us, anytime.

I enjoyed reading it, Helen Rollasson didn’t want our pity, my pity but we can help by supporting charities like hers and if you want to:
