Guest Name: Abby Pastyrnak

In this Episode:

• Abby Pastyrnak is the Managing Director at One Mission. She has been with One Mission since before her two separate cancer diagnoses, and in today’s episode she shares her story.
• Abby describes her journey of her diagnosis. Her initial diagnosis was a shock, and after regrouping she took on a positive mental attitude that gave her the confidence to look forward.
• She learned the news of her Stage 4 diagnosis just months after meeting her husband, and the world was simultaneously bracing for the impact of the pandemic.
• The “privacy factor,” building your team quietly and strategically. Allowing yourself to take the step to ask for help by saying, “I can’t do this alone.”
• Abby’s words of advice to others who are living with terminal cancer.

This is a One Mission Podcast.

Cancer can steal a kid’s childhood – we help them get it back through
programs and activities that foster friendship, fun, and positive
distractions from treatment. Whether it’s putting on holiday
celebrations, providing art and music therapy or paying for expensive
hospital parking, we make life brighter for children and their families
from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.
