Synopsis

When Kelly’s 12-year-old son, Nicky, was diagnosed with an improbable form of cancer—a diagnosis so rare he stood a better chance of being struck by lightning three times— her world unraveled into crisis. Kelly’s story offers a candid glimpse into the profound impact a strike like this can have on a family’s foundation. With raw, unfiltered sincerity, from the heart of a mother who will do anything it takes to save her child’s life, Kelly guides us through the challenges of her strained marriage, the seismic impact of medical treatments, the agonizing daily decisions we all face when life is on the line, and the magic we can discover when our heartbreak is wrapped in hope, our grief, held by gratitude, and our pain, finally transformed into purpose as her son won his fight.


AUTHOR BIO
Kelly Cannon, a dedicated writer, speaker, and philanthropist, has made giving back a central principle of her life. Her advocacy journey began during her teenage years when she volunteered in the oncology ward, witnessing the profound impact of childhood cancer on loved ones. However, it was her son Nicky’s rare pediatric cancer diagnosis in March 2021 that solidified her commitment to the cause.

Inspired by Nicky's bravery, Kelly became a guiding light for families facing childhood illness. With reciprocal support at the forefront of her heart, she created the Team Nicky Chair at BC Children's Hospital. This chair and her debut book will help bring awareness, innovative research initiatives from around the globe, and access to immediate funding capabilities for cutting-edge treatments to BC Children’s Hospital. More than that, it will serve as a symbol of Kelly’s belief that courage is not something we wear as a mask; rather, courage is the strength we find in ourselves when we are supported by others.
