Biography

Kerslake experienced symptoms of a lymphoma at age 14 or 15, and when he was 19 in 1979, he was given a terminal prognosis. He wrote of his experiences in the 2006 book Life, Happiness... and Cancer: Survive with action and attitude! ({{ISBN|978-0980417067}}). The book was published in Australia in 2008 and in Africa and Poland in 2010, each through different publishers{{which|date=November 2014}}. It was later published in paperback in Australia by Fontaine Press, and as an e-book through Amazon.com in 2013.

Kerslake gives talks to cancer patients, cancer support professionals and medical professionals on the use of psychosocial (mind-body-spirit) support measures to help patients cope with their experiences. In Vienna, Austria in June 2007, his work in cancer support was recognised{{by whom|date=November 2014}} with an international "Re-Building Lives Award"{{citation needed|date=November 2014}}. In 2011 the American Cancer Society appointed Kerslake a "Global Hero of Hope".[1] In the 2014 New Year Honours, Kerslake was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to people with cancer.[2]

Kerslake worked until December 2008 as a leadership coach and presenter, from his company Life Paths Ltd. He now divides his time between volunteer work in cancer patient support and full-time paid employment. He lives in Wellington, New Zealand with his wife Gillian and their two sons.
