INSPIRING CANCER PATIENTS TO KEEP WALKING
In the face of a battle with colon cancer and lengthy treatments, Sandi Sammons shared her hope and light with others through her words. With her feet propped up and her tablet in hand, Sandi snapped a photo of her “happy shoes” and began writing her story, more and more with each treatment. For nearly two years, Sandi used her “happy shoes” and her words as a way to lift up her joy, frustrations, faith, and inspiration to the world until her passing in April 2017.
Today, Sandi’s legacy continues through the work of her husband, Keith, and The HAPPY SHOES Project.
““There is something about how we look at one another...you can look at people and judge or you can look at people with kind eyes.””
SANDI’S LEGACY
HAPPY SHOES was birthed in the heart of Sandi Sammons through her life process of overcoming colon cancer.
After being diagnosed with Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma (colon cancer) on August 26, 2015, Sandi began a process of walking out her healing. Throughout the process of treatment and emersion in the Word of God, her HAPPY SHOES inspirational post was birthed. Sandi always loved nice shoes. One day while sitting in her treatment chair, she was inspired to write about the shoes (red and white leather tennis shoes) she was wearing. She took a picture of them and wrote her first post and captioned it, “My Happy shoes for the day!”
This was the beginning of what is now the HAPPY SHOES PROJECT. Sandi transitioned to heaven on April 27, 2017 and today we carry on The HAPPY SHOES Project to honor her life and legacy. We hope you are inspired each day with hope, peace, joy and strength to put on your HAPPY SHOES and keep walking.
