Dr. ML @2 Warren Honeycutt Author @3 Sharon Schlesinger living well & MBC

The story is familiar but the results are far from ordinary. A heavyset 14-year-old kid decides that he’s tired of being overweight and hits the gym. He sees some results and realizes the potential of living a healthy, active lifestyle over a sedentary, fast-food diet-filled existence. But this is where the story veers into the extraordinary. Forty-six years later, Warren Honeycutt, now 64 years old, is a decorated bodybuilder who is America’s only Masters Heavyweight to reach the National Physique Committee’s Nationals Finals, a.k.a. Mr. America, for five consecutive years. He is also the man behind his own weight-loss system called Get Honeycutt

Sharon Schlesinger was diagnosed with both breast and cervical cancer over twenty-eight years ago, in the dark ages, before the internet, social media, and the entry of Susan G. Komen on the national stage. Her cancer was caught at an early stage, and she was lucky enough not to experience a recurrence or a more advanced stage, even though the fear remained long after everyone else decided she was cancer free. That’s the funny thing about any kind of cancer. 

You are never ‘free’ again.

From a senior vice-president on Wall Street to small business owner, to novelist, her passion to advocate, educate and raise funds for women’s health issues is close to a full time job. Currently she focuses on creating support and awareness for the issues associated with Metastatic Breast Cancer. Her best friends are all metastatic now, her mission:  to empower them with the knowledge they need to live a full, creative and rewarding life as cancer ‘free’ as she has gratefully lived.
