Cancer treatment may have left Lauren Wepa with a lifelong sight impairment, but the former Rotorua girl isn't letting that stand in the way of her design dreams.
CanTeen's 2015 greeting card range has been released and features designers from across New Zealand, all of whom are young people directly impacted by cancer - including Miss Wepa.
"We wanted to create a set of cards which would suit any occasion and which anyone would be excited to receive."
Miss Wepa was diagnosed with cancer two years ago, and as an after-effect of the treatment her vision has been impacted by light sensitivity, which means she must wear sunglasses permanently.
