‘This is hope. This is me’: Kellie Finlayson announces new book ‘There Must Be More’, set for publish in late April

Kellie Finlayson – cancer survivor and wife of AFL star Jeremy Finlayson – has announced a major new career move.

After revealing her devastating cancer diagnosis in 2021, Kellie Finlayson has just announced a new book, which she says will be the “rawest version” of her.

The 29-year-old, who is married to AFL star and Port Adelaide player Jeremy Finlayson first revealed her stage-four bowel cancer three years ago and has continued to speak courageously and publicly about her battle.

On Tuesday night, she posted to her Instagram revealing her book, “There Must Be More”, which is set for publication in late April, saying she was “incredibly proud” to share the news.

“I’m so incredibly proud to share this piece of me with the world, and still so confused everyday as to why my story is worthy of being literally printed in a book,” the post read.

“Imposter syndrome is screaming, but deep down, I know this is bigger than me.

“This is for those who have faced devastation, for those who feel alone, for those who no longer have a voice to share their story. For those who are stuck for words, for those who feel helpless.

“I feel like I’ve lived a dozen lives, and somehow, beyond motherhood, becoming an author might just be the most surreal one yet.

“This is hope. This is me—the rawest version of me.”

Ms Finlayson first revealed her cancer diagnosis three months after giving birth to her and her husband’s daughter, Sophia.

Since then, she has continued to speak publicly about her diagnoses and her battle with cancer, with her last update given in October last year.

Her book is set for publish on April 29.
