Description
Diagnosed 13 years ago with MS, Justine Martin was told by her neurologist that she wouldn’t work again. Undeterred Justine has found purpose in helping other people through telling her story and giving them hope. Along the way Justine has earned recognition and many awards, as an accomplished speaker, life coach, artist, author, publisher, teacher, and entrepreneur. Now she’s combined all of those passions and skills to shed light on the resilience of other Australians, with her latest publishing venture; a new book that brings together the stories of 26 extraordinary authors who've bravely shared their unique experiences and journeys living with multiple sclerosis.
