Описание к видео Learning To Live Again with Molly Fenton. Living with an in-operable brain tumour at 22 years old

Very occasionally in life, if you are lucky, you meet people that are so wise that you have to stop in your tracks and listen to them speak, and after listening you come away with your eyes more open and the world looks a little brighter than it did before. Today’s guest is one of those people.
Molly Fenton is only 22 yet she is changing lives, she is the Award winning founder of the Campaign Love your Period, a UN Women UK Delegate and a Young Ambassador for the Brain Tumour Charity.
Molly founded Love your period whilst still at school, frustrated by the stigma and lack of education around menstruation, she wanted to act as the big sister that other young people might not have, stimulating
conversations around periods and sexual health. Incredibly she has built a volunteer base to 75 people, alongside her own little sister Tilly.
At 16 Molly was told she had an inoperable brain tumour. Although benign, she describes how her life became "watch and wait". Failing GCSE’s, having to attend her schools behavioural unit and then being told to
leave post sixteen, yet she continued helping the community, fighting for girls rights within the health care system.
Six years on and Molly lives with many debilitating chronic health conditions, yet she is a keynote speaker, giving talks around the country about her philosophy on life since her Brain Tumour diagnosis, speaking in
Parliament about period stigma and poverty, she is passionate about helping others and is also an ambassador for them Every Woman Festival coming up soon. But lets hear more from Molly herself about all the above
