“The Will To Survive”

Some time ago, when I first saw this video, I was impressed and sadden. Recently I thought of Megan and wondered how she was doing. I found her site and was so sad to read that she lost her battle against cancer.

“Megan McNeil was just 20 years old when she died on January 28, 2011, surrounded by family and friends. She had been battling Adrenalcortical Carcinoma, a type of Adrenal cancer, since she was 16.”

Along with Megan, every child singing on this video “The Will To Survive” is battling cancer.

You can read more of Megan’s story here.

Stories like this make me pause and appreciate my health and the health of my loved ones.
