So.... sometimes the road ahead is not smooth sailing! I'll be stepping back from 3:45 am wakeup calls for a while to take on a battle with cancer. Let this new journey begin.... 🌻

Dec 7: "it's cancer", Feb 1: surgery, March 17: pathology clear, July 8: in the middle of the action at the Stampede parade. This year's theme of "together again" is giving me ALL the feels. #LowEnergyHighEnthusiasm #StillRecovering #Grateful 🙏💖

Sometimes you need to "go back" so you can move forward. I'm taking you inside Tom Baker Cancer Centre tomorrow 6am-9. It's a place that seemed so scary until I learned what was inside. It's been a long journey from "It's cancer" to now, join me as the healing continues. 🙏
