She hated cancer, but cancer loved her. It sought her out at twelve, again at twenty-two, and then, at thirty-three, as a mother of two young boys, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and told she would die. In the shadow of that terminal diagnosis, Connie came up with an insane dare for her brother, actor Samuel Johnson, to unicycle around the entire country in an effort to remind every young mum in the land to be breast aware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho says no to a dying wish?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Samuel said the inescapable 'yes', \u003cem\u003eLove Your Sister\u003c\/em\u003e was born. Sam became the world's most determined unicyclist, covering almost 16,000 kilometres in 364 days. What started as a promise to his dying sister turned into a pledge to everyone suffering from cancer. After his turn as Molly Meldrum in the biopic \u003cem\u003eMolly\u003c\/em\u003e, Samuel promptly retired from acting to focus solely on raising $10 million towards cancer vanquishment. So far, \u003cem\u003eLove Your Sister\u003c\/em\u003e has raised over $7 million...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen, in September 2017, the woman who taught us all that every day is awesome took her last breath. But Connie always said, 'It's not over when I die. It's over when mums stop dying from cancer'. So Sam, Em, and the village aren't stopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this updated edition of the bestselling memoir, Sam and big sister Hilde share stories of Connie, the birth of The Stick and the Big Heart Project, and remind us all yet again just how far people can go for the ones they love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844499230956,"sku":"9780733637490","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5075193482449.jpg?v=1758844480"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/connie-johnson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
