51 | Making Cancer Suck Less with Lemons of Love
Cancer Sucks. It sucks big time. Jill Swanson was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2014, but it was the sight of other cancer patients in the waiting room that inspired her to start giving out care packages to help "make cancer suck less." This grew into Lemons of Love, her nonprofit that has donated over 26,000 care packages to cancer patients filled with lemon drops, ginger tea, superhero socks, and happy pictures from kids.
Jill, an accomplished businesswoman in the male-dominated motorsports industry, shares how her tight-knit racing community rallied around her during treatment. They not only raise funds for Lemons of Love but help deliver care packages across the country.
Beyond care packages, Lemons of Love provides support groups, and social services, and is building a healing garden along a river for patients to meditate and reflect. Jill also discusses the challenges caregivers face and her plans to provide them with care packages and support.
Join Jill as she shares the origin story of lemons of love, the impact of even small gestures on cancer patients, and how "doing it scared" can inspire you to embrace change.
