Making Cancer Fun with Tara Geraghty
It’s the worst case scenario. The horrifying words no parent ever wants to hear: Your child has cancer.
In 2009, Tara Geraghty heard those unthinkable words, learning that her 3-year-old daughter had been diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma.
There is no way to be prepared for it. A dizzying amount of frightening emotions inevitably follow, and a family can be left at a loss for what to do. The most painful part is that the child is just as scared, if not more. Kids take cues from their parents and feed off of the emotions they are displaying. Their very survival might depend on the emotions which their family shows around them.
Tara decided that she was going to do everything she could to make sure her daughter maintained a positive attitude. Fun was the name of the game, and she wanted to make sure that she and her daughter lived it every day.
Join us as we sit down with Tara to discuss her experience of learning about her daughter’s diagnosis, why she chose to take a non-traditional approach to her care, and how she stays focused and productive in her busy life.
Author of Making Cancer Fun: A Parent’s Guide, Tara Geraghty has spent over two decades in leadership development. She now uses her experience with her daughter to help parents of cancer patients stay positive when their child is diagnosed with cancer.
For almost 20 years Tara has taught thousands of women through weekly live workshops, training calls, and now webinars. She has become an advocate for domestic violence victims and a voice for legal reform for victims.
Tara is the Author of Making Cancer Fun: A Parents Guide, I’m a Miracle Kid workbook, From Living to Being, The Rock Star Calendar and the creator of the The Grateful Connection Course. She is a contributing author on Every Entrepreneur’s Guide to Running your Own Business, a regular contributor to Conquer Magazine: The Patient’s Voice, Ted Talk, and can be heard on podcasts worldwide.
Speaking at numerous non-profits and seminars, Tara shares her heart for hope, faith, & gratitude in the midst of life’s biggest challenges.
