I am 49 years old mom of teenage twin boys , an OT who works with stoke survivors and I am 1.5 year breast cancer survivor!.
We would like to thank you for supporting Emily Costello in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
The fact that I have wisdom, but so much more time to learn . The fact that I have a nice group of friends who feel the same. The fact that I love my body and it can still do amazing things . The fact that my hang ups about how other people see me are gone . The fact that I can mentor people and they come to me for advice and a listening ear . The fact that my marriage to my husband is going strong at 20 years and I am seeing my boys grow up to be great humans . The fact I beat cancer !
How do you stay fabulous?Weight lifting , walking , hiking with the family , SUP , swimming, going to my kids games / meets , learning new styles of cooking and exploring that with friends , traveling and finding niche hidden gems , listening to podcasts on science and history to keep myself informed., reading, surrounding myself with people I love and who love me , through my work helping stroke and TBI patients to live life again , educating others and volunteering time for breast cancer awareness
What would you do with the $40,000?Donate money to the hospital that I got my treatment at , to their foundation that supplies things insurance won’t pay for to cancer patients , finally put the stone patio we always wanted in, so we have more space for friends , take a trip down route 1 in California in a convertible with my husband, a dream vacation for both of us .
