Norma is a 90 year old woman from Michigan and she lost her husband to cancer when she was 67. Now she herself has been diagnosed with cancer and the doctors asked her how she wanted to treat it. When offered the options of radiation and mediation Norma declined. She told them that she's 90 years old and it's time for her to hit the road.
She started to document her trip and to post her photos on Facebook.

For the last six months, Norma has been traveling around the United States with her family in a motor home. She has not experienced any pain and feels that her cancer may be going into remission. Stranger things have happened.
Suffering loss has given Norma some perfect perspective. “Keep praying every day and God will take care of you, even when it feels like you can’t care for yourself.” Her best advice is to talk about the happier times. “Storytelling is really, really helpful,” she said.
“Just keep on going every day, that’s about it,” she advises. According to her Facebook page, she aspires to go to the moon. And what little we now know about Norma, there’s nothing stopping her.
