11:00 am ~ Cancer + Humor
Karen Mills was a UTC Lady Moc. In fact, she was the first, division 1 first team All-American in UTC’s history. She was the first UTC athlete to earn that distinction in any sport, male or female. Her #12 uniform was retired and she became the first female inducted into UTC’s basketball Hall of Fame.
Everyone predicted she would be a basketball coach. She became a comedian instead.
When she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she brought humor as one her cancer fighting tools. Turning her pain in to punchlines, she now speaks across the country and has been hailed for her ability to bring humor and light to difficult topics.
Quoting Norman Cousins, “Hearty laughter is a good way to jog internally without having to go outdoors.”
