<<Previous Chick Next Chick>>Joy Clausen
San Diego, CA
Submitted by: Lisa Gisczinski (????)My friend Joy Clausen is definitely one of the bravest people I know!!! At the age of 25, she found out that she had non-hodgkins lymphoma. She was in film school at the time and made the decision to film her entire experience ( in the hospital, shaving her hair off, basically the camera was with her the WHOLE time.) She has since made a movie out her experience in the hopes that it will help others battling with the disease and loved ones that are effected by cancer.

There are no words that I could say that would do a better job than this video. Please watch and tell me if you feel the same.

I am a professional photographer and I took pictures of Joy after her hair grew back.....isn't she gorgeous?

Thanks for taking the time to check her out :)
