Fueling Your Soul

Fueling Your Soul, what does that even mean?!

Crushing my first track time at a BMW Autocross Event – Philadelphia, PA – 5/9/19

After many months of people asking me if I was going to write a book about my experience, I began to realize that my cancer journey is truly a niche situation.
