Cameron Gill

Cameron was a teacher, social entrepreneur, paediatric physiotherapist, environmental activist, writer, advocate, and a creator of superheroes. He was our son, our brother, our uncle, our sensei, and our friend. It brings us joy to share the stories of his journey, his life, and his legacy with others, as it was his wish to have a positive impact in the lives of others even beyond his time here with us.
