Cancer Sharks creates space for truth, humor, and healing in the face of cancer. It's a vibe that goes out into the world to help individuals through storytelling, community, and fierce human connection. The community’s first in-person gathering will take place on (Sunday) October 5, 4:30-7P, at Pastoral on Congress Street in Boston. Tickets and RSVP required (coming soon!). (Limited seating & paid subscribers will be offered tickets first.)

Cancer Sharks for those of us leaning into shark magic to take big bites out of shitty cancer diagnoses. Writing to help process a Stage IV Melanoma diagnosis and treatment. Also promoting the First Annual Cancer Shark IRL gathering in Boston, Oct5.

Cancer Sharks is for anyone circling cancer — or loving someone who is — and searching for a badass shiver. We lean into Shark Magic: taking big bites out of hard diagnoses, being more scary than scared, and finding ways to bite back. 🦈💜
