Meet my friend Charlyn! She and I met in Washington, D.C. at PCRM‘s Headquarter during our “Food For Life Instructor Training”. On the first day, when she shared her story, I knew that it needed to be shared with the the people who read my blog. Charlyn is a two-time cancer survivor and I know that her story will inspire you as it did me!

So what is the recipe for the cookies? You MUST share!
I will ask Charlyn if she’d like to share! It’s not really about the cookie per se, as much as its about the act of eating it mindfully! For that you could use any recipe! 🙂
This is a very inspiring story – and not just because of the food. It is wonderful to see a person make a commitment and succeed in changing their entire life. I survived cancer (melanoma), and it was many years before I finally was convinced that a plant-based lifestyle is the way to go. I live in a rural community and am the only vegan I know, so it has been a slippery slope for me. Reading stories like Charlyn’s helps keep me on track.
Hi Karen,
Thank you for sharing! I can see how that would be tough! I decided to go plant-based vegan on my own, but I soon found an incredible support group via Meet-Up in my community and started getting together with them. They answered many of the questions that I had at the time and I have just come to love each one of them and consider them my new family! I am so incredibly grateful! Hearing Charlyn’s story gave me so much hope as I am sure it will give others who are battling this dreadful illness. We need stories like hers, so I am hoping that others will send it forward, share it! Charlyn’s story gives encouragement and hope! Check out “Red Thread” – the interview I did with Dr. Deb. She’s also a cancer survivor! Her story is equally inspiring!
All the best! Stay plant-strong! Nina
