Camp Quality Ambassador Michael Crossland's Incredible Cancer Story

At 11 months old, Ambassador Michael Crossland was diagnosed with an incurable cancer called neuroblastoma. The doctors said he had no chance of survival, sent his parents away and gave him only months to live. Amazingly, after a scary drug trial, lots of chemotherapy and 5 years in hospital, Michael outlived his cancer and tells his story today as a world-renowned inspirational speaker who champions optimism, resilience, courage and most of all—hope.
