Mom died of breast Cancer, her diagnoses, divorce, dating and Get Your Rack Back- Connie Bramer
Summary: <p>IN HER WORDS:<br> I am a contributing author to Chaos to Clarity by Kat Kanavos and Patricia Cagganello. I also wrote my breast cancer memoir, How Connie Got Her Rack Back, my comical spin on the cancer journey. And since your show is rated explicit, I would say that if things could fuck up along my journey, they did!<br> <br> I wrote about the good, the bad and the ugly of having cancer at 39 recently divorced (I had a 200 lb hemorrhoid extricated by an excellent divorce attorney), with two small children. 11 years later, I just hit the big 5-0 (Holy Shit) and I am in perfect health except for the usual aches and pains:)<br> <br> I decided once I was well that I wanted to help other patients going through cancer, so I founded a non-profit, Get Your Rack Back, or GYRB as we call it for short. We provide cancer patients - men, women and children with various types of cancer - with $500 in financial services. Gas and grocery gift cards and medical copayment assistance, mostly. So many patients are having to choose between paying for treatment and putting food on the table for their families and we just CAN'T HAVE THIS! The goal of GYRB is to bridge the gap for these families. To date, since I started it in 2015, we have provided $122,000 in services to cancer patients in Upstate NY. My goal is grow to other states because -let's face it - we all know someone somewhere who is affected by cancer who could use some boots on the ground providing some much needed TLC.<br> <br> I also write articles for BizCatalyst360, mostly from my blog - The Humor of It All. Crazy shit happens to me all the time, so I write about it.</p> <p>https://gyrb.org https://www.facebook.com/GetYourRackBack/ https://www.bizcatalyst360.com/author/conniebramer/ https://twitter.com/constancebramer?lang=en https://www.instagram.com/constancebramer/ https://thehumorofitall.wordpress.com</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-naked-podcaster/message
