In 2022, Cheryl Walsh was diagnosed with breast cancer after five years of unimaginable loss — losing her farm, her income, her stability, and nearly her husband. Just as she began treatment, she lost her sister-in-law to cancer too. But through it all, Cheryl found strength she didn’t know she had. With the support of the Gloria Gemma Foundation, the SheRoes program, and the powerful sisterhood she discovered, Cheryl began to rise from the ashes — like the phoenix she now calls her symbol.

This is a story of survival, grief, healing, and rediscovering purpose. If you’re facing cancer, caring for a loved one, or navigating life after trauma, Cheryl’s journey is a powerful reminder: even when life burns you to the ground, you can rise again.
