Scar Bearers

On Scar Bearers, I discuss my battle with necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria) and other stories, and how those experiences didn’t make me perfect; they made me better! I also interview others who have faced major struggles and still persevered, reaching the summit on the other side of the valley and often climbing higher than before. We also get geeky occasionally. 😉Please join me and contribute to this imperfect, yet fantastic and fun community!
