Losing his Wife to Bladder Cancer and finding a new Purpose in Not-For-Profit with Adam Lynch
Manage episode 447490980 series 3425528
Born and raised in the UK, Adam led a relatively routine life, growing up in a close-knit community. He pursued studies in business, where he honed his skills in management and leadership. He then embarked on a successful career in the business sector, becoming known as a reliable and innovative leader.
Adam met his future wife, Anna, in a nightclub in the UK, sparking a love that would lead to a nurturing and adventurous partnership. Together, they raised two children, Noah and Manon, balancing family life with their busy professional careers.
In 2017, tragedy struck when Anna was diagnosed with bladder cancer, abruptly changing their family dynamics. Anna passed 14 months after her diagnosis, leaving Adam to navigate single parenthood and the emotional toll on their young children.
Inspired by Anna, Adam founded Beat Bladder Cancer Australia, focusing on support and awareness for bladder cancer patients.
Late, he met Catherine, forming a blended family and learning to balance past grief with newfound joy.
At 54, Adam's professional life has flourished with consulting and charity work, while he embraces personal growth and future adventures.
