Hey everyone, today we're diving deep with Kat Morris. 🎙️ I met Kat just over a year ago, and let me tell you, the bond she shares with her daughter, Kandis, and the incredible stuff she's doing in her memory? It's pretty darn impressive. ❤️
Kandis was not just any Marine Osprey pilot; she was full of life, took charge like a boss, was all about helping her community, and loved her sports. 🌟 But life threw a curveball, and she had to fight stage four colon cancer.
Grief? Kat describes it as being sucked into a black hole. 🌌 But in that darkness, she found a way to understand herself better, leaning on spiritual insights and a lot of reading on grief. She even shares this super touching dream where Kandis came to visit. 👩👧✨
There's the Captain Kandis Cookie Ruiz Foundation (CKCRF), which is all Kat's labor of love. 💙 It’s there for military folks, civilians, and even rugby fans battling cancer. 🏉🎗️ It's Kat's way of ensuring Kandis’ spirit of leading and helping out stays alive and kicking. They help with both alternative and traditional medical treatments.
Jump in to hear Kat's real, raw story of love, loss, and bouncing back. 💪🏼 And find out how Kandis keeps shining a light on her journey. 🛤️❤️
