Surviving
After getting through a recurrence of lymphoma that damaged the base of my spine, I’m left pondering the concept of survival and how it's not as easy as it seems. In a series of interviews with people who have experienced all kinds of life-changing disease and trauma, I explore what it means to survive and perhaps, at some point, live happily ever after.

When Debbie Salamone was bitten by a shark, she had no idea how much it would transform her life. After recovering, she went back to school to get her master's degree and changed her career from journalism to advocacy. She organized a group of like-minded shark attack survivors and pushed for conservation measures to help endangered shark populations recover after decades of overfishing.
More information on her survivor group can be found on their Facebook page.
