Bonus Ep: Our Instructor Bella On Her Cancer Diagnosis

The Peaches Podcast

In this very special episode, T & B sit down with team member and killer instructor Bella Bradford. Until recently, Bella was a regular 22 year old, doing all the things you'd expect a smart, fun loving and fiercely ambitious young woman to be doing in her prime. After moving to Sydney to follow her dreams, Bella was working as a star instructor in some of the best fitness studios in the Eastern Suburbs, studying hard and of course - having the odd wild night or two on the weekends with her girlfriends.

Many of the Peaches community will know Bella, and her incredible classes. She became favourite among our clients within weeks of joining the team - with Tori and Bec often receiving texts from long time members singing her praises. Everything changed, however, 5 days before Christmas in 2021. After experiencing some painful health issues that she had thought were related to her wisdom teeth, Bella struggled to find a diagnosis that matched her symptoms. During oral surgery, the problem was finally discovered - a white mass hiding in Bella's jaw was biopsied, and identified as a very rare and aggressive cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma.

In this episode, Bella fills us in on what the past 5 months have looked like for her - from multiple surgeries, chemo and hospital stays, this resilient and eternally positive bright star was nothing short of inspirational in this interview. Bella, as always, has her eyes firmly set on the future. Next stop: Europe 2023!
