Running Man: Shawn Gardner and the unstoppable Team Heather

The day his sister Heather (a fabulous young woman in her early twenties) was diagnosed with breast cancer, Shawn Gardner ran out of the hospital into the rain, and he’s still running.

“I’m a co-survivor,” Shawn says. “Five minutes before I knew Heather had breast cancer I wouldn’t have guessed it would redefine who I am and what I do, rewrite everything about my life. It’s not just inspiration—though she did inspire me, always—it’s a passion and my duty to do whatever I can to fight this thing.”

In Promise Me, you can read more about the phenomenal Shawn Gardner, his husband Chris, and how their families came together to create the tour de force that is Team Heather.
