In this episode, we have a chance to speak with Jessica Gaskell, who happens to be Tara's sister and Super Mom to the very brave Joey, our WanderLuxe Warrior. Joey was diagnosed with leukemia at 18 months and recently relapsed. Jessica sheds a light on the harsh reality of this cancer diagnosis and treatment, the incredible need for research and funding while inspiring optimism in the face of adversity.
One of the goals of our WanderLuxe Warrior initiative is to spread awareness and to educate and hopefully make a change!
