Hello all,

Has a cancer diagnosis affected your ability to work?

I spotted this story on the BBC website today about David, an ex-naval commander who, when diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, came up with a novel idea.

Working with an old colleague, he set up an online tool called Astriid that matches individuals with businesses that can use their skills for paid or unpaid work.

It seems like a great way to harness people with chronic illness’ talent. What do you think?
