Allstate: The Silver Lining for Breast Cancer

 My grandmother, Helen, was
an instrumental person in my life. She was blessed with both beauty outside and in. She helped found a Christian Camp,
that services hundreds of young adults to know God. She worked to
build what is now the Seneca, five Nations in Allegheny, NY. As a small child she taught
me so much but it wasn’t until her battle with breast cancer I would
learn the hard lessons. Beauty and strength comes from within. She fought daily, lost parts of her women hood, little by little. I remember riding to her
treatments listening to “He has the whole world in his hands” thinking
she is so brave.

My grandmother lost her life to cancer but has changed
mine forever. I hope to be a fraction of what she was to me to someone
else. That beauty is within and shines outward. More than 250,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States each year. This disease effects not only those going through it but their families as well. “Allstate, through it’s ongoing efforts to support the well being of
women, is distributing the Silver Lining Companion Guide as a FREE
resource to everyone impacted by breast cancer.

 “The New York Times bestselling author of “The Silver Lining,” was diagnosed with breast cancer, she wanted a book to
help her get through the experience; something that was a practical and
honest resource but at the same time hopeful and supportive. No such
book existed, so Hollye wrote “The Silver Lining” with her friend and
photographer Elizabeth Messina”.

Although this guide does not take away the
confusion, pain and emotions that often come with a cancer diagnosis,it does provide some balance, perspective and hope needed to get
through the difficult times.

 You can find a FREE copy HERE.
