I've never been one to run from a challenge.

What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what's thrown at me, I can take it. And I can keep going.

I'm not afraid of death. I'm going home.

I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light.

When those you love die, the best you can do is honor their spirit for as long as you live. You make a commitment that you're going to take whatever lesson that person or animal was trying to teach you, and you make it true in your own life... It's a positive way to keep their spirit alive in the world, by keeping it alive in yourself.

Sometimes a movie encapsulates a period or a moment in all of our lives in such a way that it never dies.

If I leave this Earth, I want to leave this Earth just knowing I've tried to give something back and tried to do something worthwhile with myself.
