Kayaking Healed My Body, Heart and Mind
My name is Christina Walker and this is my story...
In 2009 I was diagnosed with Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma.
I was 39, a mother of 3 boys and happily married with a career I loved.
I was given a 20% chance I would live 5 years tops.
Start Living Instead Of Existing
Kayaking, from that day forward has given me happiness.
As a single 55 year old now, it lets me reflect on life and all I have gone through.
Many of those things may have broken other people down, but kayaking keeps me grounded.
It is humbling to see all of creation while floating peacefully.
