My Story

 

My name is Ann Harper. I'm a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. I'm a personal trainer

specializing in cancer exercise, a health advisor, and walking coach. Being a walking coach

is my favorite job because it is what I personally love to do. We all need to take care of

ourselves physically as well as mentally and walking helps with both. Second to walking is

enjoying new adventures and having fun with my granddaughter.

                                                                                        I'm very passionate about the things I love and enjoy people and hearing                                                                                                              their stories. I like to take walks and go to parties. Mostly, I'm just an                                                                                                                      average person that enjoys my life and my family. 

 

                                                                                        I am also living with thyroid cancer. This is when, My Journey With Thyroid                                                                                                             Cancer, started. 

​

After finding out about the cancer, I did all the things, surgery, experimental chemo,

and radioactive iodine. I thought I was cured, But then I learned it had spread to my

lungs. Since first learning about the metastasis of the cancer I discovered many things

I can do to help myself and at least slow the progression. Finding out information

wasn't always easy. There is so much out there, and, at times it was a bit overwhelming.

I bought things I didn't need and wasted a lot of money. I decided to put this site together

to share my journey and help you as you travel yours. We all need each other and I felt

the need to stand up. 

​

I have changed my diet, the way I sleep, I walk daily, and I have changed many things in my personal environment. If you are interested, read some of my blogs. I hope they give you inspiration.

​

As you read my blogs or take my challenges, always be sure to check with your doctor and do your own research. What works for one, may not work for you. In some cases, it could even be harmful. I am not a doctor - I am just sharing my story and trying to help people see the benefits of walking. This site is for informational purposes only. Further research will be needed. 

​

If you would like to join my private Facebook group go to: Wisdom, Walking, & Cancer. It's where we share information to help each other and where you can learn more about the Walking Challenges I've put together.

​

I can't wait to get to know all of you!

​

For now, I wish you good health and happiness!
