There Must Be More

In 2021, Kellie Finlayson, with a three-month-old daughter, found herself staring down the barrel of a terminal diagnosis: Stage 4 bowel cancer. She was 25.

Incredibly, Kellie is still fighting several years on, and not only for her life. She was horrified to discover that this disease is Australia's second-highest cancer killer and-shockingly-the highest for 25- to 45-year-olds. Hardwired to help people, Kellie boldly determined to change those statistics. Since then, she has become a defier of odds and a passionate advocate for broader health awareness.

While being the Number 1 supporter of her husband, AFL player Jeremy Finlayson, and of their daughter, Sophia, Kellie has also become an ambassador of the Jodi Lee Foundation and face of the 'Trust Your Gut' campaign, a co-host of the Sh!t Talkers podcast and now an author, courageously unveiling her story. She is on a mission.

There Must be More is a book about being dealt a devasting blow, being knocked down and yet getting back up again. This is Kellie's searingly honest, endearingly vulnerable, sometimes cheeky and always hopeful story of love and struggle from the frontlines of her fight for life.

Filled with revelations for those who haven't been touched by the illness and compassion for those who have, this book is the life-affirming gift of hope that everybody needs.
