🎙️ "Cancer. Heart Disease. Health. Well-being. And the unexpected medicine of laughter." Life can change in a heartbeat — a diagnosis, a heart attack, a moment that stops you in your tracks. We’ve been there, and now we’re talking about it. From treatment and support to family, friends, mental health, and the resources that get you through — we’re sharing it all. But it’s not just about illness; it’s about life. News, sports, hobbies, crafts, and the little distractions that keep us sane. Along the way, special guests bring fresh voices, real stories, and new perspectives. Light-hearted. Funny. Honest. Addictive. This isn’t just another podcast — it’s a community. Tune in, laugh with us, learn with us, and remember… all we ask is just a little smile.

Episode 5 Season II

And this week its our special guest Scotland International Professional Rugby league and Rugby Union player Harvey (Harv) Burnett.

Harvey was Diagnosed with Cancer in his early 20's just as he was reaching the peak of his professional career in sport, a devastating blow at such an early age Harvey tells us openly how the diagnosis immediately impacted on his health, life and exciting career.

Harvey started as a junior for the Elmbridge Eagles, and was in the London Broncos Academy system. He made his Scotland début in 2014 against France. In 2015 he made his Challenge Cup début for the Bronco's against the Leigh Centurions.

Harvey spent time on loan at the London Skolars in 2015, Midway through the 2015 season Burnett switched codes to play rugby union. In 2016 Harvey returned to rugby league and joined Oxford in RFL League and in 2018 Burnett joined Bradford Bulls on a one-year contract.

Following Harvey's diagnosis, treatment and long battle with Cancer, Harvey formed his non-profit organisation entitled "Making my grass greener" (MMGG).

MMGG trades on good morals and believe in good people, branding themselves as a Robin Hood company. MMGG sells ethical and sustainable products, hosts events/fundraisers in order to donate profits to those who need it. Their goals are to feed the homeless, fund community sport and breed positive mindsets.

Their mission is simple, spread positivity as far & wide as possible! and truly believe that to make real change you must be thinking positively and help others to do the same. “Time is the only currency.”

Harvey is a truly inspirational guest and we were very privileged to have him with us today.
