In 2015, the nation watched twelve-year-old Angus Cunningham on A Current Affair, bravely sharing his story after a second fight with Hodgkin lymphoma. His strength touched countless hearts. Ten years later, Angus is twenty-two and ready to tell the full story in his memoir, Twice Before Twelve.

By the time most kids are worrying about homework or weekend sport, Angus Cunningham was fighting for his life. Twice before the age of twelve, he faced the unimaginable - childhood cancer - and somehow found the strength to keep going.

Now a young man, Angus looks back on the years that shaped him. His story is raw, funny, wise and filled with gratitude. It is not only about his own survival, but also about the extraordinary love of family, the unwavering loyalty of friends, and the kindness of a community that refused to let him fight alone.

This memoir is for anyone who has faced, or is still facing, the challenges of childhood illness - for the children who are enduring treatment, for the parents who sit beside hospital beds, and for the friends and supporters who make the unbearable just a little lighter.

Twice Before Twelve is Angus's way of saying thank you. It is also a reminder that even in the darkest moments, courage, kindness and hope can light the way forward.
