Awareness

I was recently contacted by an incredibly strong lady asking if I would be willing to post her story on my blog. I am honored to introduce you to Heather Von St James and her story of courage and determination!

Heather was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, a cancer that kills most within the first TWO years, when her daughter was only 3 1/2 months old. You can imagine how devastated she was! Her first thought being her daughter and not knowing if she would have the opportunity to watch her grow up. As a mother that tugs at my heart extra hard.

With heavy treatments and recovery time, 7 (yes, SEVEN!) years later Heather is strong and cancer free!!!!! Her goal has become to turn her 'pain into purpose and become someone that other people can look to for guidance, inspiration and hope in situations such as her own'. 

Here is a the link to her story! Please take a moment to watch!!! Heather's goal is to make awareness of a little known cancer that is such a deadly killer but, as Heather states, 100% preventable!
