Bone cancer survivor Hayley Arceneaux is thrilled to be going into space. At 10, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, and was treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Encouraging the children at the St. Jude hospital was first on her mind when Arceneaux was asked what she might aim to achieve in space. "We are going to try to set up a video call with the St. Jude kids," she said. "I'm the first St. Jude patient to go to space, the first paediatric cancer survivor, but I know I'm not going to be the last," she added excitedly.
