    Worth Fighting For

    In this heartfelt talk, actor Patrick Swayze’s wife, Lisa Niemi Swayze, share her husband’s fierce battle with terminal pancreatic cancer. As she walks through moments from their journey – the moment of diagnosis, the decision to fight it, and ultimately, the decision to let go – she reminds us how to love and live bravely, cherishing each moment like it may be our last.
