Sara's Story
Sara has faced the profound heartbreak of losing both of her parents to cancer. Her mother’s battle was especially sudden, lasting only seven weeks from diagnosis to her passing in June 2025. Having navigated these losses at a young age, Sara has been dedicated to her recovery through therapy and specialized support groups at the James Cancer Hospital.
After attending the retreat last year during the height of "brain fog," Sara is returning with a clearer heart and mind. She is seeking this experience to process the deeper layers of her grief that she wasn't ready to reach before. Her goal is to continue building the resiliency skills that will not only help her heal but also empower her to share the strength and wisdom she has gained with the world.
