Alex's Story

Right after Mom and I had the toughest conversation in her battle against cancer, I went to the kitchen and made her a milkshake. She said the cold felt good on her throat.

One milkshake changed our attitudes, even for a brief moment. We laughed. We talked to each other as if this disease, which had taken over both our lives, didn't exist. 

Shaking Cancer is a way of fighting back against a disease that touches so many of us. These milkshake moments are ones that can help others in the most difficult of times. 

By sharing our stories, we are Shaking Cancer.
