Redefining the Norm: When Breast Cancer Comes Calling

As I sat beside our baby sister’s hospital bed yesterday, I was both inspired by her strength and humbled by her resilience; she is redefining her norm with grace and dignity and a touch of realism (the occasional tear and/or ‘colorful’ word).

Bruised and broken may be her body, but not her spirit. She is a fighter.

I’m so thankful we could be with her over the weekend to celebrate her 35th birthday with a cancer center fundraiser. My sister’s wish to give back to the folks who’ve nurtured her through this process resulted in $1000.00 raised in two hours. We thank all of her guests (family, friends, coworkers) for their generosity!
