Most of us know someone who has or had cancer, for some of us, it’s a family member. We know some cancers aren’t too bad and we have a good chance of kicking it or living with it for a long time. Others can be savage and take someone in a matter of months. Glenn had a pretty savage one and he didn’t catch it until it was extremely advanced.

Let me start with telling you a bit about what sort of person Glenn is and perhaps we can gain a better understanding what he drew upon, to fight this cancer. Glenn has been involved in the martial arts and fight scene for more than 50 years and has obtained numerous black belts. He grew up reading about legends such as Chuck Norris, Benny ‘The Jet’ Urquidez, Bill ‘Super-foot’ Wallace and so many more. He couldn’t imagine as a kid that one day he would actually get to stand opposite these people toe-toe and share techniques, ideas, meals and even travel with many of them.

Glenn is one of those people that’s sometimes difficult to please and many times difficult to impress. Perhaps that’s why he went out of his way to track down leaders in the Martial Arts, so they could help him become his best. As a result of his passion for martial arts he opened up a number of schools to share his knowledge and also became a promoter showcasing some of the biggest names in Kickboxing during that era. He’s a multi Guinness World record holder (board breaking) and this success has overflowed into his corporate career. Glenn is also a specialist Coach & facilitator who has worked with a broad spectrum of Australia's largest private and public sector companies including the big 4 Banks, Telstra, Optus, Vodaphone, Foxtel, Universal Studios, McDonalds, Zara fashions, NSW Health, Sydney Harbour Authority, AFP, to name a few.

He now heads up ClubManager, a software company in Australia. I wanted to take you to this point to show you that Glenn, is a highly motivated and determined person. He is also very methodical in the way he strategizes and plans everything, meaning nothing is left to chance. Now at a time in his life where he is happy with his successes, reflecting upon his many achievements and then BANG! He gets the news, ‘you got cancer and its pretty advanced’.
