I'm Sarah Staebell,

In 2012, my life was turned upside-down with a surprise diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer. On that day, I had to make a choice of how I would receive such a horrific diagnosis. Would I sit in self-pity and feel sorry for myself? Would I become angry and blame the God for this unfair turn of events? Or would I embrace my disease and choose to live each day to the fullest? I am embracing each moment!

I am two and a half years post diagnosis. I have had multiple surgeries and procedures and have endured two different and difficult chemotherapy regiments. I have lost my career that I loved (my employer didn't want to accommodate my treatment schedule) and made my way through an ugly divorce. I am currently on an immunotherapy treatment coupled with a clinical trial. While I have had a sprinkle of tough days, my chin is up, my faith in God couldn't be stronger and I can honestly say I am happy.

I am, with the help of so so many, creating life-long memories for my two little boys, Kade (7) and Kieren (6). My two little guys absolutely love the adventure that travel brings! I'm thrilled to Make Memories in Tahoe with them.
