Two Days to Live | Farrari Khan | TEDxRoadTown

At just 11 years old, Farrari suddenly fell ill with a simple knee pain, which quickly got worse. Within a week he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Burkett’s Leukemia and told without immediate treatment, he would have had 2 days to live. Charming the audience with his endearing anecdotes about his cancer journey, Fararri shares how his experience as a patient and his love for animals inspired him to give back more, starting a local branch of the Jane Goodall Foundation Roots and Shoots in his hometown of Tortola, BVI. Now diligently pursuing his vision of becoming a pediatric hematologist/oncologist, Farrari declares that the Time is Now for us to Help the Planet and One another.
Through my passion for research I have been able to learn many fascinating and not so fascinating things beyond my school's curriculum.My strong foundation at Century House Montessori School is where my compassion for people, animals and the preservation and smart development of the environment bloomed. This was topped off with theever excitingIB curriculum at Cedar International School.I was absorbed with a multitude of extra-curricular activities such as sailing, guitar lessons, karate, soccer and more.At the end of my PYP years at Cedar I suddenly fell terribly ill with a simple knee pain which got worse and within a week I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Burkett’s Leukemia.I was told without immediate treatment I have 2 days to live,at just 11 years old. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
