This is one of those stories I want to put on the wall..
The Man Who Says He Can and the One Who Says he Can’t Are Both Correct
I read this yesterday and am still somewhat speechless and jaw agape
Quote: | Just a year ago, Thomas was completing treatment for breast cancer. In a Facebook post on Saturday, a day before starting her epic exploit, Thomas dedicated her swim to "all the Survivors out there."
"This is for those of us who have prayed for our lives, who have wondered with despair about what comes next, and have battled through pain and fear to overcome," she wrote. "This is for those of you just starting your cancer journey and those of you who are thriving with cancer kicked firmly into the past, and for everyone in between." |
