Meet Mandy; Mandy is a wife and mother of 2 boys. At age 34, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It's people like Mandy who inspired us to find a better solution for Critical Illness cover. We wanted to build a set of benefits that would take care of all CI cover needs - allowing them to focus entirely on getting better.

To see our solution in action, let's use Mandy's story as an example.

In 2015, Mandy was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She underwent 5 months of chemo. After 8 months her test results were clear, her side effects from treatment were gone and she went back to work.
