Friday, I was given the opportunity to speak to over 500 middle school students and tell them my "survival" story to promote cancer awarenes.  I was asked the day before and had very little time to prepare...but the words just came to me and I think it went well.  Beyond talking about cancer...my goal was to give them all "hope" in their own trials...and remind them that they also can do hard things!

I'm glad it went well, even with short notice.

Shanda, I know we don't speak often or run in the same circle these days but I want you to know that I pray for you and am uplifted by your example. You are an amazing human being. Susi Woodworth
