I am so honored and excited to partner with Johnson & Johnson to increase #BladderCancerAwareness and #EmpowerPatients to be their own best advocates. I'll continue sharing my personal journey - from diagnosis to advocate - on Health Union's BladderCancer.net.

16 years ago my Dad passed away. Not a day goes by when I don't think about him still. The grief is lessened and occurs more infrequently, yet still comes in irregular waves. I'll always be a daddy's girl.

Share a Coke and a smile with the people you love today in honor of my dad.

Third snow day of the year. I’m not a fan of winter or snow, but it still is beautiful. There’s something sacred, peaceful, beautiful, & all-enveloping about a weekend snow day when you can just curl up in blankets near a window with a hot beverage & just take it all in!

#ThePowerOfUs is what happens when a few hundred patient advocates come together to learn, share, amplify & commune. Thanks to Johnson & Johnson for hosting and sponsoring all of us. All views are my own opinions. So grateful to have had the opportunity to get together with other bladder cancer …

Finally got to meet some Health Union LLC folks in person! Sam Sarube and I worked on some NASHDisease.net initiatives a while back! Sarah Wallin HU I heard you live close by…you definitely missed out!

Rumor has it that #HU has some new sites launching in the near future.

Quick photoshoot thanks to The Insighters at HealtheVoices today with the only bladder I possess these days! Lol
The Insighters connect patients with compensated patient experience studies. Check them out to see what they might be able to offer you!

It’s
#InvisibileDisabilities Week!

Be kind to yourself.
Ignore the haters.
Be picky about what & who gets
some of your spoons.
Do what you can,
when you can.

Always, honor your core while
making others aware of their
misconceptions &
false information.
