She first noticed it when her daughter crawled up the steps and said she couldn’t walk.

Traci’s instinct knew then, it was a brain tumor.

Ava was 4 years old when she was diagnosed with DIPG, a rare and terminal brain cancer, and the initial prognosis came back conclusive; there were no treatment options.

Fortunately, thanks to Traci and her husband’s quest for multiple opinions, they were able to find a clinical trial that gave them another full 2 years with their daughter.

Ava was a beautiful soul who led her own journey with the ‘frog in her brain’.

And now, Traci works every day to help mothers and children in the same position through BrAva, the organization she leads.

BrAva has raised countless funds to help families directly affected by Childhood Cancer, but they also provide an invaluable support network for these families.

Traci has experienced the most difficult pain anyone could ever endure and found a path to use it to change the lives of so many others.

She and her husband are happily married and Ava now has a younger brother and sister.

And all of them know…her Memory will never be forgotten.

As a young mom on the brink of a new career, Desni Crock was suddenly faced with the words every parent dreads to hear…

“Your Child has Cancer”

Those words forever changed her life, though, in some ways you may never expect.

After fighting for several years with her first child, she was pronounced Cancer-Free, but as we all know, the battle didn’t end there.

For so many, including the patients and caregivers, so much of the fight comes in the mental and emotional aftermath of such a tragedy.

Desni helped form an advocacy group called BrAva that has now raised tens of thousands of dollars and countless support for kids battling through cancer right in her community.

It became her life’s purpose to help those affected by Childhood Cancer, and to help her family navigate their new life.

But then, Desni’s second child was diagnosed with an entirely separate type of Cancer.

And her reaction was different than you could ever guess.

Join us on this episode of The Impossible, where we dive into Desni’s entire journey and learn invaluable lessons from her fight.

Most of all, she wants us to know, it is Ok to show up each day with what you can give.

No matter the prognosis, showing up for the fight is what makes you a Survivor.

In 2013, I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive Childhood Bone Cancer.

I lost my leg to this disease and endured months of intensive chemotherapy.  Throughout this journey, even though there was great hardship, I was blessed to witness some of the very best of humanity as a community came together to help me battle this disease.

And by the end of that year, I was Cancer-Free.

The battle did not end there, however.  When you battle through something so damaging, so intense, it can leave you feeling broken and beaten, no matter how many smiles you wear every day in spite of it.

I was left feeling defeated, without value or purpose for my life.

It was a long road forward, but I was eventually able to establish purpose in my life again through the "Be Impossible" mindset, becoming an athlete, a speaker, and an entrepreneur.

In 2023, Team Impossible formed to raise funds, advocacy, and awareness for kids battling cancer today as a Children's Champion. What I experienced was beyond anything I could have imagined.

Once again, I witnessed the very best of humanity as we raised over $32,000 for Childhood Cancer Research, and gave Hope to so many kids battling today.

This year, Team Impossible is returning with 37 athletes, and our Mission is to help spread the message of Children's Champions to show you how you can give these same Kids Hope.

It is our mission to show Kids battling Cancer the immense strength they've built, and they can use that Strength to chase any dream they have for life.

Check out this episode to learn how you can become a Children's Champion for the Columbus Marathon and give Hope to those who need it most.

Welcome Back to the Adaptation Series, The Impossible Mind.

Today, we are discussing what it is like while in the middle of the battle you have waged against your former self. How impactful moments can be during these times. And how you react to them.

Covering some personal experiences, we can get a glimpse into how dark some moments can be.

But How we react to these moments, is ultimately the tell of how successful we will be in achieving our goals.

Here we are again, sharing our experiences in Unlocking the Impossible Mind!

Today, Austin discusses the next steps in your process of adapting to an ever-changing world, surrounding yourself with incredible and Impossible individuals.

As you are on the journey of building the Impossible You, you will find yourself becoming more selective of who you surround yourself with. And this is a good thing!

In order to be great, and to keep moving in a positive direction, you will need a strong team of people around you.

Austin discusses how that fits into the plan both in the how, and the why.
