Holly Hollis Stars was diagnosed with stage-4 breast cancer 3.5 yrs ago. In those 3.5 yrs she has fought with a fierce intensity, determination, and grace I have never seen before from anyone. Her ability to shine, and shine bright through even the most difficult times is truly inspirational and motivating. She wont stop, she wont slow down.. Her husband Mark Stars has been by her side every step of the way. Quietly (mostly) in the background close enough to support and be there when she needs it, but out of the spotlight. She has built a community of friends, family, and even turned some complete strangers into her most loyal and committed advocates, friends, and family.

You often terrify me with your intensity.. you astound me with your heart.. and you are and will always be my hero. This isnt the end, far from it. This is just some photos of the latest step in this journey. I was honored to be a part of it.

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross 

You shine bright Holly Hollis, and will continue to shine.. and fight.. and make me roll my eyes for many many years to come.. thats karma...
