Show Notes

"Find something that you enjoy, something that makes you still feel like you're alive, and do it every day." - Andy Watts

Andy Watts was just 29 when he was diagnosed with cancer.  His wife was 16 weeks pregnant with their first child, and he wasn't sure if he would live to meet his son.  He began super aggressive chemo treatments just after Christmas in 2010.  At one of his treatments, Andy overheard a nurse tell another patient that if she could just walk to the mailbox and back each day it would help her healing process through the chemo treatments.    Andy took that advice to heart and began running.  It helped him feel like he was still alive and gave him something to live for.
