Meet this week's FIGHT SHINE sister - Kira Andersen. We dive head first into what it looks like to walk alongside your spouse as they receive a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, show up as a parent in the thick of it for three toddlers, and single-handedly navigate through the medical research community to make a potentially life-saving drug available not just for your husband, but many others. Her fearlessness to go where God calls her is inspiring - and her relatability is refreshing. Kira candidly shares how she faced criticism, ridicule, and judgment for "taking care of herself" in the fight - and we break down what it looks like as Christ followers to "wake up and get dressed" even in the struggle.
Kira is a well-known and well-loved St. Louis based fitness instructor and health and wellness coach. She is also a fierce and compassionate mama to her 3 little ones.
I adore this BOLD new friend and cannot wait for you to be moved by God working in her life.
Kira's husband Kyle went to be with the Lord after recording but prior to the release of this episode. Please see below to donate in his memory to the pancreatic cancer fund.
