journey with purpose


     

Cancer is a household word at our place, but it doesn’t have the ability to paralyze us. Despite Garys metastatic disease, we have determined to live purposefully.

We established a non-profit, wrote a book about real-life cancer heroes (at left), and designed a couple of Web sites to promote healthier eating and physical activity.

We created a tag-team survivorship/ quality of life message, and grant funding has allowed us to take our message across the country.

Life is an adventure, but not always the one we expected. When losses and setbacks meet us along the road, we can choose self-pity and defeat … or we can venture forward with purpose.

This is a no-brainer. We are making the journey with purpose.
