Honoring Emily
Honoring Emily
Join our conversation with Emily Garnett's husband, Christian Garnett, and her dear friend and fellow MBC advocate, Abigail Johnston, as we discuss Emily's legacy projects, grief, caregiver supports, mental health, and so much more. Emily Garnett died in March 2020 after living with MBC for 2.5 years. During that time, she was a prolific writer, blogger, and podcast host who showed us all how to be vulnerable, honest, and fierce while living with this disease.
