Her message is that one person can live beyond limits.Laura was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 28 soon after giving birth to her daughter. Three years later the cancer was back, in her back and spreading throughout her bones. This was a Stage IV "terminal" diagnosis and she was given no hope of a cure. This book chronicles the agony of the disease and the ecstasy as 15 years later, Laura is still here. She hasn't just been around the block; she has been around the world. She chose to live her legacy instead of leaving it.She has courageously participated in 11 medical missions to diverse and fascinating destinations across the globe. She has worked with children in hospitals around the world- sometimes surrounded by stench and squalor, lacking basic medical supplies, running water, toilets, and electricity. Her hope is that this book will provide inspiration that one person can make a difference. By serving others, we are served; sometimes in profound, life altering ways.
