Army Sgt. Crystal Reidy is one of those inspiring figures that you're lucky to hear about once in a generation. Not only is she a fearless and giving leader and a mother, but she has now earned another title to add to her list: cancer survivor!
Her beautiful son was born prematurely after she was informed she had cancer. After learning she was at stage three, all of the fears began to well up inside of her — but that's when she realized there were two ways to deal with our fears: through aggressively fighting them off or by defending ourselves and letting them control us.
This Army-tough woman decided she was going to fight the fear instead of let it consume her.
Using all of the training that the Army had instilled in her, she approached her cancer diagnosis as yet another challenge in life. And, after sticking to her guns and dealing with seven straight months of chemotherapy, she finally came to the point of victory against the deadly disease.
She managed to do all of this while raising her child to be the best boy he can be, and by instilling inspiration in all of the people in her life. The way she approached this fight was so impressive, that unless she told you, you would have no way of knowing that she was winning the fight of her life!
