Giving someone a ride is something we glad by do for pre friends and family. Often people need them in their greatest time of need. Here with the inspiring story of the woman behind the wheel. Jerry higgs knowes from personal experience how important it is not to miss a treatment when battling cancer. Even she was an above average support system found her selves sometimes struggling getting to where she needed to be. What this did is make it easier for her to decide, once she got healthy, to help others. Her drive, is tonights bay area proud. It is precisely because sherry higgs has walked a mile in another persons shoes, those of a person battling cancer, that has to days she much prefers to drive. Ways really scared. I felt very vulnerable. In 2010, sherry was diagnosed with inflammatory, very rare, extremely aggressive and often deadly disease. Left untreated sherry was told she had six months to live. With a young daughter at home, six months was not nearly enough. When the oncologist explained to me it was an aggressive cancer, i basically told him that i would like to be aggressive back, then. For the next year and half, sherry not only fought the disease, she taught with it. The block she started to update friends and family on her progress gains hundreds of loyal followers. Through it she attempted to raise awareness and spread news. None better than the news she got more than a a year into her treatment. When the doctor tells you youre in remission, thats a huge high. Were going to see one of my favorite client. But the end of the disease was juf the beginning of a dream to help in any way she could, make life better for other cancer patients. The idea of rides to and from treatment was something sherry said she could have used. Hands down, i would have done it. Something katherine is thrilled to get. Katherine is one of the first client of sherrys new volunteer powered nop profit drivers for survivors. I didnt mind that so much. Not just regular rides to and from treatment, but a traveling companion. A hand to hold. An ear to listen. The comforting presence of someone often like sherry, who had been down this road before. To have a support system, youre going to feel that youre not alone. Oh, i bet that really made her happy. Already, sherry says more than 40 people volunteered to be drivers. She hopes there are many more out there interested. In giving rides and giving hope. Anything to offer hope for a person to hang on is one that any direction can possibly save someones life indirectly. Sherry is matching up drivers and client, so it is an random thing. You develop a relationship. Because of that, there you have to be careful. There is training involved and being involved with people with cancer, the outcome isnt always good. So she does touch on that. Thank you. Thank you. Chief meteorologist, as we head towards this weekend, we know what we are doing sunday at least.
