As far as Anita Fuellbier is concerned, Stage 4 lung cancer picked the wrong body. She is a fighter. She takes risks. She has fierce love for her two daughters, her job and her place in her community. And she is currently six months into her projected year and a half to live — though, following an experimental clinical trial, that timeline may have shifted. Anita joins the editors on 27Speaks this week to discuss her cancer journey and share her positive outlook.

In order to use it for a long period of time, weeks, maybe months, you need to support the near weightless fabric with a long archway of evenly spaced wire “hoops.” Sprung steel in 6 foot lengths, 3/16 gauge, are straight when you poke one end into the dirt, but ... by Marilee Foster

We Mark Our Ballout:Sag Harbor Village, North Haven
