This year on my birthday , I’m celebrating life, and I’m celebrating my 3-years cancer- free anniversary. I wish to fundraise enough money to make a backpacking trip in Yellowstone through this wonderful organization called Truth North Treks. They organize trips to support young adults affected by cancer to find direction in their lives through connections with other cancer survivors. It’s been an arduous journey for me to fight cancer, I feel lonely and helpless most of the time. I’m always trying to be tough and carrying heavy burden that weighs me down. I’m learning to let go of people and things that affect my mental health. I've been trying to live and enjoy life more ever since I defeated cancer. It’s a never-ending healing process and I know I’ll never be the same person I used to be. I’m grateful to have met other cancer survivors in the past 3 years and realize that we can still have a good life. I’m not afraid of death, but I’m afraid of not doing anything meaningful in my life before I die. I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal πŸ™

(TRUE NORTH TREKS is a national 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower young adults with cancer and their caregivers to reclaim the lives and futures that cancer took from them. We help the people we serve get connected to powerful and unique skills, tools, experiences, and resources that can enable them to live healthier, happier and more meaningful lives as fully functioning human beings who actively create and contribute to the world. One of the primary ways that we fulfill our mission is by taking groups of young adults and caregivers from across the United States on backpacking and canoeing treks in beautiful wilderness destinations where they can connect with nature and peers)
