Healthy North Dakota Story Well

The Healthy North Dakota Story Well Project is gathering the stories of people living with or overcoming challenges to their health or the health of friends and loved ones. Whether living with diabetes, surviving a heart attack or stroke, or living day to day as a cancer survivor, Story Well storytellers have overcome challenges, often arriving in the place they're at as changed people.

Sharing their stories, the storytellers reach out and move us to action - to take care of ourselves better, to get that health screening test, to let others help us along the way. Not only does sharing a story help others, we believe that the telling of stories benefits the storyteller, too, by helping him or her become even stronger and more courageous.

The first two stories in our series highlight two incredible women surviving cancer. Meet them and listen to highlights from their stories.

Are you, or do you know, someone living with or who has overcome a challenge to his or her health? If you think he or she is willing and ready to share that story with others, contact project coordinator, Karen Ehrens karen at ehrensconsulting dot com, or call 701-223-2616.
