Join Erica Gifford Mills and her guest, Jenna Benn Shersher, on this special Breast Cancer edition of Get Rooted Radio. Cancer treatment can make people feel powerless.

It reminds them they are creating something, not just “being treated.” During this episode, Jenna will share her journey, how Twist Out Cancer started, where it is going, and how others can participate. Art doesn’t cure cancer, but it heals the human spirit.
