Melanie McGauran tells the beautiful story of Saving Lissa

Melanie tells the story of her friend, doctor and educator, Lissa McKinley. As Lissa goes through her own journey of cancer, it informs her abilities as a doctor, teacher, and Humanist.
Melanie tells us of her long friendship with Lissa, starting in all-girls preparatory school, and how she drew inspiration from Lissa both in life and in death.
She talks about how writing helps touch others long after we’re gone, especially when we go through similar experiences.
Melanie tells us about how Lissa’s joy and gratitude rippled out, even more so now that she has shared it with us.
A great story from a fabulous writer about gratitude, empathy, and connecting with others. Through words, actions, and sometimes even tattoos.
