Rare Eye Cancer Patient Outlasts 18-Month Prognosis, Now Helps Others Afford Travel for Treatment

Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
Ashley McCrary, a mother of four, was diagnosed with a rare eye cancer that spread to her lung and breast, given an 18-month prognosis. Rather than succumbing to despair, she chose to live 'intentionally,' using art and painting as an escape from her medical struggles. She has since outlasted her grim prognosis and now helps hundreds of other cancer patients pay for travel expenses to access crucial medical care.
