Today we sit down with Lara MacGregor from Hope Scarves. This is a powerful, moving conversation behind the journey of Hope Scarves and how it has morphed into the amazing organization it is today. Meet Lara, a cancer survivor and solider that has been inspired to fight for herself and those struggling with debilitating illnesses for over a decade. Lara found herself on the other side of a frightening cancer diagnosis while she was 7 months pregnant with her second child. During her treatment, she received a few hand-me-down scarves from another survivor with a sweet, encouraging note. Each time Lara wore or held one of these scarves she felt connected to energy within the piece of fabric. This prompted her to pay it forward with the same gesture when she was in remission. She shared both the scarves and story behind the scarves with a friend and at that moment she knew what she was called to do. Thousands of scarves, stories, and hope later Lara is still battling and pressing forward on her mission to change the way we experience cancer. This episode is a raw conversation about the truths behind this ugly disease, the messy feelings that no one wants to talk about, and what you CAN say/do for someone battling cancer.
