Sharon LaParry

I am a 28 year breast cancer survivor. I was so blessed to have been working in a hospital pathology department when it was discovered.

What do you love about being over 40?

I am more confident and content than I was when I was younger. I am so happy that I have family and friends to share my life with. I have my two fur babies (cats) to love on. Life has been a little hard but I have survived cancer, heart disease, broken bones, anemia and a recent hip replacement. Now, I am ready to get back to travel to see my daughter and her family and I am ready to get back on the dance floor.

How do you stay fabulous?

I have fought severe anemia, hip replacement and degenerative disc disease. I was even released after two weeks by my orthopedic surgeon instead of six weeks. So, I am healing and ready to resume a more physical life.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I need much needed repairs to my home. After that I would donate to no kill animal shelters, local programs to provide mammograms for women and men that have no insurance or the monetary means to have one.
