Facing Fear

My Mom Fought Cancer for Me... 20 Years Ago (Special Guest, My Mom!)

Sara McInerney Hauck Season 7

When I was waiting to find out if I had cancer, my life flashed before me and a specific memory stuck out. It was 20 years ago, when I was 10 years old. I watched in downtown Chicago as my mom finished walking 60 miles after three days of camping out and raising thousands of dollars for breast cancer research. As I watched that memory play out in my head, I thought, f*ck, I am going to have breast cancer. This was actually meant to be. Touché, God.

My mom is my number one fan, cheerleader, supporter and best friend. She's been there for me my entire 29 years, and in my 30th year of life, she showed up exactly when I needed her. Together, we've fought my breast cancer battle for one year. On this episode, we reflect on the past year, her connection to breast cancer and how in the world she trained for a 60-mile race while having four kids under 10 years old.

She's a superhero, who just happens to double as my mom.
