Julie, a beautiful reflection you share here. Terri put her heart and soul into The Focused Fight memoir discussing our son Ryan's 5x cancer battles starting when he was two years old in 1996. In addition to the priceless gift she gave to Ryan, herself, Olivia, and I, the mission of her book is "to help one person, one family, at a time." To know the story helped you and your family is a gift to us - much love and gratitude to you all. Thank you for sharing Terri's inspiration, and the encouragement and inspiration you bring to the world every day!

Unbelievable! I'm thankful that the book helped Julie and her family, so much, that she now wrote her own book on Testicular cancer!
