Survivor Event: Cancer Happens Laugh Anyway

It’s not easy being labeled a “cancer survivor,” but it beats the alternative. Survivors have unique super powers. They walk a road no one would choose, but they go down it just the same. Cancer survivors have faced their own mortality. They’ve endured, overcome, and in many cases, they just keep going. Celebrating that kind of power ignites palpable energy!

• Hear multiple sidesplitting true survival stories from Tracy’s life, cancer journey, and book Laugh Anyway Mom.

• Inspired to find humor in everyday life as Tracy shares from her own life struggles raising five sons, juggling laundry for a family of seven for decades, and navigating the normal process of aging.

• Be reminded that everyday holds its own reason to be grateful. Appreciate the funny side of when things get hard (like when the “c” word enters your vocabulary).

• Be ordained as cancer screening ambassadors with permission to hound, nag, and educate their family and friends with the huge benefits of evicting cancer ASAP.

• Leave with less cortisol in their blood and more oxytocin in their brains as the natural result of human laughter.
