My name is Ryan-Thomas Quinn, I am 18, a journalism student, activist and avid enjoyer of wine (preferably rosé).
When I was 11, I lost my best friend Aaron to cancer. The injustice I watched him suffer, through absolutely no fault of his own but instead the system that was supposed to support him, has spurred me on to create positive change for all like him.
Here I’ll be sharing lots of different stuff! Personal stories, progress and updates about my campaign, articles and a little bit of political opinion too.
My views are mine and mine alone however, I work regularly with and have friends across the political spectrum. Collaboration is key!
