Sally Wolf, CEO and Founder of LightWorks, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“One year into being a Living Beyond Breast Cancer Hear My Voice advocate, I keep coming back to this:
The same space that holds so much hope also holds unimaginable heartache.
The hope of possibility is palpable. It is no exaggeration to say that many of the most positive people I know are fellow metastatic breast cancer (MBC) thrivers.
Learning from one another this year has been nothing short of magical.
But alongside that magic is indescribable heartache.
We lost Jessica and Lizzy last summer, and Monica more recently. They comprised 10% of our cohort and made so much impact in their more limited time as advocates.
We honored them on our year end call tonight.
More quietly, now, I find myself reflecting: Could there be anything more selfless than people with mere months to live choosing to join a new advocacy training?
But they did it because they knew how much it mattered. How worthwhile it would be to start, even if they couldn’t finish. Because ultimately that is what advocacy is for us all:
A choice to make any difficult journey better for the next person. Even when we are unlikely to ever know who that is.
I am thrilled to continue advocating as a HMV alum.
In memory of three incredible women, in community with 26 more, and in deep hopes that our work will make this diagnosis a bit easier for others.”
