They write books about people like her. A cancer survivor. A teacher.
A scholar. A wife. An adventurer. A world-class athlete at the age of 52.
A woman who inspires others by her actions and her attitude. And now,
the irony and cruelty of it all is that cancer is back for the second time. So
she shaves her head and she smiles that beautiful smile and gets ready for
a fight. Because she’s not giving up. And neither are we.
