“Life sucks sometimes, and that’s the honest truth. But, it’s the crappy parts - that type of devastation and that type of pain - that allows you to experience the purest form of joy in your entire life.” - Kim White Imagine you were just given a few months left to live…. What would change? How would you look at life differently? Would your values and priorities stay the same? How would you want to spend your time? This is exactly what Kim and Treagan White experienced. Kim was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer, turning their lives completely upside-down. They were told it would be a miracle if she made it a few months, let alone an entire year. Treatment after treatment, surgery after surgery, and miracle after miracle, almost five years have passed since then, and she’s still alive.
Treagan and Kim White have been married for 10 years. They have one very strong-willed six year old girl who keeps them going. They enjoy outdoor adventures and discovering new places to explore. Their world was rocked when Kim was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer (adrenocortical carcinoma) in 2014. They lost their second child at 18 weeks of pregnancy, during Kim’s initial treatment. She was told she only had a few months to live, but those who know Kim know she’s not the type to accept someone telling her what she can and can’t do. So, fighting cancer is this couple’s new norm. They have learned so much about what really matters in this life. They’ve been knocked down so many times that getting back up is just a habit. Together, they have come to know about change, starting over, forgiveness, unconditional love, and daily progress. Cancer has not only blessed their life but it saved their marriage.
