Mary Joyce Rose, a survivor since 2012. When I was in my breast cancer support group (where I met 2 new friends and fellow models Kathleen Keeley and Jenn Sheehy Everett), we did an exercise where we described ourselves in six words.

Sadly, mom passed away in May and I walked to honor her memory in October. We just don’t know what life has in-store for any of us. Mom lived life with gratitude, vibrancy, love and exuberance. The best way I can think to honor her legacy, is to try…

To be honest, I looked at the treatment/etc more as a really bad cold vs. a serious issue, which I think helped get through all of the treatments. I don’t see myself sweating the small stuff anymore, I try to be more fearless when it comes to things that used to be scary to me in the past.
