This from the LIVESTRONG blog : Today is National Cancer Survivors Day... We are about the people affected by cancer- moms and dads, husbands and wives, siblings and grandparents and friends. Who do you know that has been affected by cancer? Who has beaten this disease? Who has passed away after a hard battle? The more we talk about cancer, the more we realize that we are all affected in some way.
I've thought about this all day.
I fall into the category of someone who has been affected by cancer, but it is poignant for me this week in particular. This week I had the honor of being asked to photograph a good friend for some upcoming publicity work she will be doing. This friend is Jennifer Goodman Linn. Jennifer is someone who has beat cancer five times and is living life to the fullest - on her terms.
Four years ago Jen founded Cycle for Survival, which to date has raised close to $5 million, making her a legend in the fundraising world. It is the most successful patient run fundraiser in Memorial Sloan Kettering's 125 years.
I was so excited that she asked me to take these photos - It was my chance to finally do something for Jen that felt meaningful. She has done so much for so many.
It is amazing the result you get when you are truly inspired!
