Cancer. Ugh, could I write about anything darker? It’s touched my life a handful of times and so far the results haven’t been great. Today is a different. Today, my good friend Sarah fought and beat cancer.

I met Sarah (@strongsarah) on twitter a long while ago. I can’t remember if it was by way of GeekFit or something entirely unrelated, but I’m glad to call her my friend. She found out that she had breast cancer recently. Today was her surgery and she’s now recovering. She’s been chronicling every facet of the experience on her aptly named other-blog named Stronger Sarah: everything from her search for just the right doctors to the surgery itself.

I’m so incredibly proud of her and am inspired daily by her strength. Every morning I wake up to tweets like this one.

The punchline: if you’re not following her, you ought to be!
