"I think being a member of livewire is like being a member of a huge family in which everyone has had similar experiences and you can easily relate to some things. It is great to be a member of this large family"

“I like Livewire a lot because it is a bit of a family. There’s an immediate sense of togetherness because even if we don’t say it, we all have something in common. That means you don’t have to hide anything and aren’t alienated like you are around other kids,” says Tamaryn.

"Adolescence is a challenging time for kids growing up – imagine also having a condition that means you need frequent medical treatment, often miss school and can’t join in the usual teenage activities. This is where Starlight’s Livewire program makes such a difference, connecting these young people wherever they are with others facing similar challenges."
