“I was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer as a non-smoker, active, healthy adult. I live with gratitude, hope, and joy. I am truly blessed for everything I have, and I am not done yet!

Mother and daughter use yoga to keep mom strong, healthy during cancer treatment
Jimmy Fund Blog Feature- Mom and Daughter
As our family has been facing heart-wrenching circumstances, we continue to hold true to the mantra, "We Can Do Hard Things".
In the wake of my cousin's untimely and devastating death, my mom courageously battles Stage IV lung cancer, and with her bold, vibrant, joyful spirit, has been advocating for much-needed research for lung cancer, the #1 cause of cancer death. Young, non-smoking women have a high incidence of lung cancer, yet research falls way behind other types of cancer.
We are grateful to be featured in the latest Jimmy Fund Blog, as my mom awaits a slot in a clinical trial to keep fighting for her life. She has been a rock for me for 43 years, and if I have just a fraction of her strength and spirit, I know I am doing something right!
With gratitude, I share this from the Jimmy Fund...
Love through it all, Jessica

My mom does yoga with me virtually with my recorded classes. I know how much yoga and meditation has helped her entire system- alignment of mind and heart and body. I know how much teaching yoga helps me to stay grounded and unwind my nervous system in stressful times. I know my meditation is the first to drop off when I am anxious or stressed- but really that is when I need it the most. I am truly grateful for the community of people who show up to my yoga classes, who connect and practice, and benefit from carving out an hour to recalibrate, move, and breathe together. I am here for you, 3 days a week, live on ZOOM, throughout the winter months. Yoga for ALL. Flexibility is not a pre-requisite. Please join anytime.
Do it all with Love. Nothing is promised. But everything is workable.
