Samuel Johnson: How a personal story became a nationwide movement

As far as much-loved Australian actors go, Samual Johnson is one of our favourites. From his work on and playing music icon Molly Meldrum in the miniseries he was already a familiar face before he started his campaign to raise awareness for breast cancer. His work with his sister Connie for Love Your Sister has seen him ride around Australia on a unicycle and raise almost ten million dollars. Now he’s released a book in time for Father’s Day called Dear Dad, with all profits going to research into cancer prevention. Sam talks about how a very personal story about his sister Connie and breast cancer became a nationwide movement with over 800,000 participants.Home and Away, The Secret Lives of UsMolly,See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
