Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.
About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

BREAKING: The Iowa-South Carolina national championship game averaged 18.7 million viewers.
That makes it the most watched basketball game — men's or women's, college or professional — in five years.
What a MASSIVE month for women's basketball.

Women’s basketball won today.
Women’s sports won today.
Records were broken yet again.
Women’s sport didn’t just becoming good, it’s been good, it was a matter of having the platform to show them how good it is.
Women’s sports rocks.
