Since my cancer diagnosis in April 2024, I have made sure to live my life to the fullest doing the things I love! The adventures that I have participated in have eased my anxiety and fear during my cancer journey and reminded me that life is a gift. Cancer has a way of shifting your perspective on time. For me, it became a reminder to keep celebrating life. Every experience on this list happened during my journey, and I share them hoping they spark something in you. When you're ready to plan your own adventures big or small, I'd love to help.
