At her young age, she has shown enormous ambition and has worked her way up to underwater photographer and right before her diagnosis, juggled three jobs, always with a smile on her face. Gemma and her beautiful mum Shannon have had to stop working in order to manage the regular chemotherapy sessions, medications and their side effects.
