"The LGBTQ+ community is not just my friends and what some people refer to as a chosen family, but it's also a connection to history and what got us to where we are now." Stewart O'Callaghan (they/them) is the Founder and Chief Executive of Live Through This, the UK's only LGBTIQ+ cancer charity and one which is firmly patient-led.
