When former race car driver Shawna Robinson completed her final radiation treatment for Stage 3 breast cancer in September 2015, she thought the dreaded disease was in her rearview mirror. After all, she was in remission. A little more than six months later, cancer again would affect her family. Her son, Tanner Clark, was diagnosed with testicular cancer just two days before his 20th birthday. ‘I was a mess [when Tanner was diagnosed],’ the 51-year-old Robinson said. ‘I didn’t know what to think. But then you have to pull yourself together because you have to be strong for him and let him know we’ll get through it.’ Robinson is one of just 16 women to compete at NASCAR’s highest level and one of three, along with Janet Guthrie and Danica Patrick, to race in the Daytona 500.(see full article at ESPNW)
