Paddlin thru it is my fb page where I share beauty through SUPIng. I am flat, but have regained my body, soul and mind after breast cancer.

FREEDOM … from the limitations of both my own mind and others. It took me 65 years to learn the life lessons I needed to truly become free. People tell me I glow. It is the self love I have for myself they see. I have embraced my imperfections, difficult life changes and now realize that the hardships I endured are the very thing that makes me fabulous.
How do you stay fabulous?Stand-up paddle boarding is my zen. It frees my mind and soul, while building back my chest muscles. I am completely flat. The result of a bi-lateral mastectomy and a bi-lateral capsular extraction. After undergoing numerous surgeries, chemo regiments and radiation treatments, I was unable to hold a nail above my head. Now I am strong and can confidently carry my board everywhere I float, especially the scenic rivers across the USA. I am doing what truly makes me happy.
What would you do with the $40,000?It will open up a new era where I can help bring this great sport to other breast cancer patients. Stand-up Paddle Boarding can help them as it has me … to accept and love my body again, regain physical strength and to spiritually soar. I would also love to take a trip with my family for some bonding time. They, along with a great circle of friends, have held me up through the dark times. Now it is my turn to shine my light to help others.
