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.
