My journey with cancer started in 2008. I was as 36-year-old wife, homeschool mom and new foster mom when I heard those three words, “you have cancer”. I clearly did not have time for this, but cancer waits for no one.

I was diagnosed at stage III with an “intermediate to unfavorable” prognosis. Just like that, I underwent mastectomy, chemo and radiation therapy, as well as Herceptin.

What I didn’t count on is that this became one of the best things to happen to me. Suddenly, life took on new meaning and every day was precious. Priorities were better aligned, and I had grown in gratitude and made it my mission to make my story meaningful in helping others.

Many years have passed, but the passion hasn’t changed- help others celebrate life to the fullest.
