The Young & Fearless Story

The Young & Fear­less Story

Young & Fear­less was created in 2008 when I was asked to submit a pho­to­graph to a national trav­el­ing exhibit called Cancer Con­nec­tions, by an Ontario orga­ni­za­tion called
Pho­to­sen­si­tive. In my quest to find someone who had been affected by Cancer to pho­to­graph, I dis­cov­ered a new insight from a Cancer Survivor’s per­spec­tive and decided to create an aware­ness project to show people that Cancer can be Survived!

You can pur­chase the Young & Fear­less — Inspi­ra­tion of Cancer Sur­vivors coffee table book through local inde­pen­dent book stores in Nova Scotia, through Amazon.com, Chapters/Indigo and Coles stores through­out Atlantic Canada, in Quebec and Ontario. Also online here. The book fea­tures the beau­ti­ful pho­tographs and inspi­ra­tional stories of 30 cancer sur­vivors who are all 30 years and younger.

A portion of pro­ceeds from all book sales are donated back to The Lodge That Gives, a home away from home for fam­i­lies and cancer patients under­go­ing treat­ment in Halifax, NS.

Now enter­ing it’s fourth year, the project is moving forward in an Inter­na­tional respect. The next instal­ment in this extra­or­di­nary work from the heart is a col­lab­o­ra­tion with
Coali­tion for Kids Inter­na­tional.
