“I’m stronger than I thought I was. My favorite phrase has been ‘This, too, shall pass.’ I now understand it really well.”
Robin Roberts, Good Morning America anchor
We are surviving and thriving through encouragement, education, and empowerment!
We fight with many weapons:
Some of us have undergone surgery, some are in therapy with cancer killing drugs, and some are participating in research trials. Many of us rely on faith and trust in God. Most important, we’re all fighting and we’re doing it together!!
Are determined to win the battle over cancer, to LIVE, and to have FUN doing it!
