We are delighted to welcome Ann Camden back for another episode of The Burn. Ann was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer at 38. She then had a Stage IV recurrence at 45. More recently, she was diagnosed with leptomeningeal disease - fluid of the brain, spine and many other organs. Ann is a mother of twin teenage girls and married to her college sweetheart, Jeff. In this episode Ann reads her piece “A Three-Prong Legacy Effort” from Wildfire Magazine’s 2022 “Legacy Stories” issue. Ann’s story is about creating the tangible things you pass down.  April and Ann discuss where you spend time and energy on creating a legacy to remember, leaving legacy journals intended for loved ones to read after passing on, and being human, messy and unfinished while building legacy.  They will also discuss what we actively choose to pass on to our children, and normalizing conversations about cancer with them.  Ann’s essay is included in Wildfire’s book “Igniting the Fire Within: Stories of Healing, Hope & Humor” out now.
