My name is Jennifer Johnson and I live in Orlando, FL.  I always say that if it weren’t for the downside of cancer, it would be the best thing to ever happen to me. I learned so many things during my cancer journey.  I am a  mother, cancer survivor, and passionate advocate for hope and healing. I find joy in dolphins, Disney, and the beach. The color turquoise brings me peace, serving as a reminder of serenity and strength.

In 2010, my world shattered when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My sons were just 11, 8, and 6 years old. Faced with the unimaginable, I had to navigate the most difficult journey of my life while still being the mom they needed. I knew I had to fight—not just for myself, but for them. In the midst of uncertainty, I turned to the American Cancer Society.  Their resources empowered me with knowledge about cervical cancer, and that knowledge became my strength. It gave me the power to fight, the power to plan, and, most importantly, the power to hold onto hope. With determination, resilience, and the unwavering support of my loved ones, I faced the challenges of treatment and recovery.

My experience ignited a passion for sharing my story and supporting others on similar paths. I believe in the power of hope, the strength found in community, and the importance of raising awareness about cervical cancer and early detection. Through Voices of Hope, I share my journey to inspire others, proving that even in adversity, there is light, love, and endless possibilities for a brighter future.

Volunteering with the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life gives me purpose and allows me to help others. My journey is a testament to perseverance, love, and the unbreakable spirit of hope.
