Suzy is married to Jeff and they have two adult sons and all of the family is involved in the organization, each having now experienced healing and wholeness because of the principles HealingStrong teaches. Suzy’s cancer story began in 1972 when her first family member was diagnosed with cancer, and following that, a total of 10 family members passed away from the disease prior to Suzy’s own diagnosis.  In 2009, Suzy was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  After surgery and conventional treatment failed and subsequent scans revealed lymph node involvement, she took a very different route to healing that was revealed after much prayer and research. 

Suzy focused on a combination of the Gerson Protocol that aggressively focuses on nutrition and detoxification, emotional healing and a dedication to growing closer to her Heavenly Father through reading God’s Word and learning to trust His plan and purposes. Ultimately,  Suzy began HealingStrong as a blog post in 2012, and that led to a gathering of friends and fellow cancer thrivers whose commitment and service started HealingStrong, the non-profit organization a year later and the very first event: 2013 HealingStrong Conference. You can read more about Suzy’s Story, her full protocol, ups and downs, along with dear friends whom she met along the way who were also in a fight for their lives and beat the odds.
