LORRAINE KEMBER

INSPIRATIONAL and MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

'No greater gift could we hope to give-than helping someone else to live'

These words; written by Lorraine Kember, exemplify her passion to reach out to others. From the moment she begins to speak she opens her heart to her audience.  Hers is a true story of love, courage and the strength of the human spirit and those who are privileged to hear her story cannot come away without being deeply moved and inspired.

 

Lorraine began her speaking career in 2004, following the publication of her book ‘Lean on Me’ Cancer through a Carer’s Eyes; an inspirational true account of her husband’s courageous battle with cancer and of her emotional journey as she cares for him and comes to terms with the inevitability of his death.

 

Through her self designed and managed websites,  Lorraine’s book has gained global recognition resulting in several invitations to speak at conferences both Nationally and Internationally, including the Global Asbestos Congress 2004, held in Tokyo Japan.

 

Speaking from personal experience Lorraine’s unique style of delivery is a combination of insight and discussion into the practical and emotional issues faced by carer’s along with reflection of her own caring journey through readings of her emotive poetry.

 

Tailoring her speech to suit her audience – Lorraine’s topics may include any or all of the following

§          Asbestos exposure and the incidence of mesothelioma in Australia and around the world

§          Mesothelioma Diagnosis
