This is honest and thought provoking talk by Rachel Barkey. She was a 37 year old wife and mother of two, who had vigilantly fought breast cancer for four and a half years. She had since passed on on 02 July 2009.
On March 4, 2009, what started out as a small talk to a women's group at her church grew into an event attended by 600 women from around Vancouver, giving Rachel an opportunity to share about her hope in the midst of terminal cancer.
I had shivers to hear her story of diagnosis, treatment, surgeries, re-diagnosis, family, kids, and their struggle against the disease. I was pretty choked up hearing her speak, as I could definitely relate to what she went through.
The video is 55 minutes long. What she says is truly inspiring, and certainly made me stop and reconsider so much about my life.
