This concludes #BreastCancerAwareness month but we won’t let that stop us from talking about it. My latest post explores the tiredness, burning and itching many undergoing radiation eventually feel. Have a read, and pass it on! 🩷 rachelbs.substack.com/p/perm… #Cancer #writing

I am stoked to be included in the online directory for the @UNOSNews. As a non-directed kidney donor, a donor niece and an advocate for donation my book introduces a real-life story behind the data. Through the power of storytelling, we can end the waitlist. #DonateLife
