Cancer. It's a word that is dripping in unknowns, forcing people to stop short. Oftentimes, this word means the end of something or someone. But what has led to its ruthless prominence?

Environmental writer and author, Kristine Marusic, delves into the hidden nuances of cancer, finding that many of them have nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with location, race, socioeconomic status, and gender.

In her book, A New War on Cancer, Kristina weaves tales from dynamic and diverse perspectives, researchers, advocates, and regular people, highlighting the injustice and reality of the cancers that we the people fight today. She shares how the disease has impacted her family, exposes the countless facets in which cancer can formulate, and showcases the unsung individuals who are making a stand to change the cancer landscape.

Cancer is an illness of undeniable weight with a gut-wrenching impact. Though she was shocked to get the news, Tori Stauffer chooses to believe her cancer diagnosis was the wake-up she needed...especially the second time around. As a successful mompreneur with a photography business, Tori was "should-ing" all over her life. When she answered one of the most impactful calls of her life, she went right back to her client. But it was that second time that jolted her back to reality, forced her to remember why she chose to pivot, and keep those promises and dreams at the forefront of her daily life.

Now, cancer-free x2, Tori shares what that initial diagnosis was like--for her and her family--, how working throughout treatment helped her cope, and how she remains committed to her purpose with every photo she takes.
