“It reminded me to just accept things that are bigger than you that you have no control over. Isn’t that what surfing is? You can’t control the waves, you have to work with them. Such a metaphor for cancer.”

THIS WEEK’S PODCAST EPISODE IS LIVE!!!!

We interview ever inspiring @danielle.cass about her journey surfing through cancer. Danielle started surfing at 52, became utterly obsessed, and then a year ago got an advanced breast cancer diagnosis.

Her first statement to the team caring for her? I want to surf through my treatment.

This is an interview that will put your life into perspective.

We talk about:

- Danielle’s journey into surfing at 52
- Her crew of surf sisters & organising life around her passion
- Receiving her diagnosis and how surfing helped her
- Why she started to document her journey
- Finding a community of women also surfing through cancer

It’s a wonderful story, and Danielle continues to help other women who are navigating the same challenges. Let me know what you think x
