To all of the friends and supporters in our Samfund and Expect Miracles communities,

You’ve all heard me share my story of being diagnosed with cancer twice in my early 20s, receiving a $275,000 bill in the mail after my bone marrow transplant, and creating The Samfund (or, Surviving And Moving Forward: The SAMFund for Young Adult Survivors of Cancer) as a way to pay forward the support I was so fortunate to have during my years of treatment and recovery.

What you may not know is that I didn’t just do it to help people. I did it because I needed to find a way forward through my own survivorship.
