Letters: Keep on Rollin’

Thank you, John Allen, for the wonderful and inspiring profile of Shana Martin [“Rules to Roll By,” Winter 2011]. Shana shows what determination and hard work can do to help ease the burden of a terrible disease and accomplish great things. Clearly, her father has been a great mentor and teacher for her from early childhood.

Shana’s willingness to share her story and its attendant burden of grief, not only for her mother but also herself, is truly an inspiration for anyone. Her speaking engagements can only help many more people who face this dilemma be more informed of one strategy for dealing with the uncertainty. I wish her only the best of luck.
