What happens when a family’s pilgrimage transforms into a profound journey of healing and resilience following a life-altering diagnosis? Join us as we meet the Neal family: daughter Ella, mom Denise, and dad Dennis.

Based in Colorado, the Neal family shares their compelling story of walking the Camino de Santiago amidst Ella's courageous battle with fibrolamellar cancer. Discover how Denise initially embarked on this pilgrimage to navigate her life as an empty nester. Soon after, they walked as a couple, strengthening their bond and resolve.

Listen to their profound experiences as they later walked as a family following Ella's diagnosis. Faith and community played pivotal roles in their spiritual growth as they walked together. They found solace, faith, and a renewed sense of purpose, which became crucial in supporting Ella through her medical journey. From carrying stones to honor other cancer fighters to organizing fundraisers for fibrolamellar cancer research, their journey is marked by deep connections and heartfelt traditions. Ella’s poignant stories of finding strength in the simplicity of each day and the joy of spending cherished moments with family are sure to touch your heart.

Our episode has uplifting moments that showcase the joy and camaraderie within this family and found along the Camino trail. From the heartwarming tale of this mother-daughter duo who crochet hats for hospital patients to the humorous adventures during their walks, the Neal family's story is one of hope, resilience, and community. Tune in to learn how you can support their ongoing efforts and follow their inspiring journey on social media as they prepare for their next walk on the Camino Portuguese.
