Molly is one of 12 people to be chosen for the NSW Youth Advisory Council among 600 applicants.

It provides an opportunity for young leaders to provide advice to the NSW government on issues important to youths.

The council had its first meeting at the weekend.

After everyone got behind her when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2018, Molly now has her chance to stand up for others.

"I always had a team when I was in hospital behind me, whether it was Molly's Army or my doctors and nurses so I wanted to be part of a team that could help the youth of NSW," she said.

She's also doing it for someone close to her heart.

"I signed up and then actually found out my best mate who passed away, Toby, wanted to be a politician. So I thought 'I'm doing this for him now'," Molly said.

Molly raised almost $187,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney, after her and her family stayed there for 292 nights in 2018.

Last year she was a McHappy Day ambassador and she is currently helping fundraise for the Fight Cancer Foundation of Australia.

"I could sit down and rest but I want to pay it forward to everyone who helped me throughout my journey," Molly said.

The first meeting, which had to be held virtually due to COVID-19, was a chance for the 12 youths to meet each other and learn about the council.

"They were all so lovely. I listened to all of their stories and everyone who is on it is so amazing. I'm in awe of a lot of them," Molly said.

Having just had her 15 month scans, the 14-year-old said everything was going really well. She has greater leg movement and her kidney health has improved.

Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders offered his congratulations to Molly.

"Young people like Molly are the leaders of the future, and it is appropriate that government listens to their opinions and advice on issues of importance to young people across the state."
