Exposing Hope 2017 | Brandi Stewart
“[Hope means] life, love and always having a positive attitude.”
Brandi Stewart shared that her cancer experience has allowed to her to live life more freely and not worry about the small things. Brandi explained that cancer was God’s way of using her as a testimony to help and encourage others, as well as letting people know that there is a life after cancer.
She believed that cancer is not always a death sentence, and that the scars are there to remind you what you have overcome. Brandi’s faith, family, and friends helped her conquer this roadblock.
Brandi cherishes life now more than ever and recognizes God’s gift of a second chance at life. She truly shows that, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. Today, October 1st, 2017- Our inaugural Exposing Hope event- marks four years since Brandi’s double mastectomy. She celebrates life to the fullest every day that she is alive.
