HopeLab, San Francisco, California - In April 2007, seven young cancer survivors from across the U.S. participated in a digital storytelling workshop held in San Francisco. The workshop was sponsored by HopeLab, as part of its ongoing work to understand the needs and interests of young people with cancer. The stories are powerful and illuminating documents of the cancer experience and its impact on the lives of young people.

Wheels Turning - Often we don’t know why are pulled in certain directions. We only know, or feel, that we are. If we listen deep enough we connect with our inner strength and trust in the leadership of the calling. This story is about following a gut feeling, listening, not having all the answers, trusting, taking risk and the journey that ensued. To view, copy and paste the URL below into your browser:
