foreword

I met Kris when I saw her introduce her film Crazy Sexy Cancer at the Urban Zen holistic conference in New York City. When Kris spoke, you could hear a pin drop. She told her tale of coming to terms with a diagnosis of a rare, incurable cancer—a devastating blow to anyone, but especially to a young person. Yet her story—told with grace and humor as well as a beautiful, empowering embrace of every person in the audience—was a message not of devastation but of triumph. One felt from her only the most palpable celebration of life, and a profound ability to turn a horrific challenge into a quest for personal transformation.

WITH THE MOVIE AND HER BOOK CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS, I THINK KRIS HAS BEGUN A REVOLUTION.

Cancer having become the health epidemic of our time, people are looking for psychological, emotional, nutritional, and spiritual advice as much as they are looking for medical advice. Kris has already given hope to thousands of people—particularly young adults who are dealing with this often heartbreaking challenge—and I predict that she will ultimately bring hope and comfort to millions.

Kris has toured the country sharing her message, and in short order has become a fresh, authentic, empowering voice. I recommend Kris to you in the highest possible terms. She is an inspirational speaker and original thinker, with a message that puts cancer firmly in its place. She presents a path, clearly paved by her own grit and tears, by which others can move forward out of despair and into hope. I say Bravo to her from the bottom of my heart. She is simply gorgeous, inside and out.
