I was just reading this article by Marty Smith of ESPN on Shawna Robinson's fight against cancer.
Excerpt from the article....
When Shawna Robinson looks in the mirror today, she doesn't see the pioneer. She doesn't see the lady who, for an entire lifetime, has defied odds. She doesn't see the successful home-design entrepreneur or one of just three female faces to ever race in the Daytona 500.
What she sees is bald.
Bald doesn't lie. It is stark truth. When the mirror said bald, Stage 3 breast cancer became very real for Shawna Robinson.
Robinson is still coming to terms emotionally with what that means. It is treatable. But it's a long road. One day she is typically indomitable. She wakes ready to climb to the mountain's peak and scream down the valley that she is tough; she will not be deterred. This will not defeat her. This is merely an obstacle in a life spent hurdling them all.
