I am honoured to say that I was asked to write a guest blog for Her Magazine, about my experience with melanoma and how that has impacted my role as a parent. The article also introduces the #NotJustSkinCancer video.
Among all of the pieces I have written to date, this is one of my favourites. It is honest, emotional, and, in consultation with my girls, it captures a personal insight into the last two years of life in our household. Please click here to read my perspective on:

(update 30-March-2018: sadly, Her Magazine has been retired from the internet, so the links to my articles there no longer work. This article however, was re-published on HuffPost. You can find it HERE - thanks!)
Thank you so much to HerMagazine.ca for giving the opportunity to share my story and that of the #NotJustSkinCancer discussion. I love your site and the refreshing, informative, vibrant articles you share.
Thanks also to the "contributing editor," you know who you are A ;-) - couldn't be doing this without you and your team. Endless thanks to all who have embraced my participation in this project and enabled exploration of my passion to WriTe.
