2:28Now PlayingWhen Louise lost her dad, she realised how lonely the experience of losing a parent at a young age could be.
So she decided to do something about it. "I realised that if you are over 24, or if your parent dies of anything but cancer, there were just no support groups," she says.

Trailblazers is an opportunity for young, regional change makers to have their stories on the ABC.
