Cancer Survivor Mowing Lawns For Therapy

Apr 23, 2018 | 11:28 AM

Some find mowing the lawn therapeutic,  including a local woman who used lawn mowing as a way to help her through cancer.  Now she’s hoping to continue her business and reach out to other cancer patients.   

Julie Hughes has fought cancer and won, and now shes waging her war on the lawns of Prince George.  Last year Hughes was diagnosed with Lymphoma and underwent through six rounds of chemo therapy over three months.

During treatment she faced physical and cognitive challenges – and found mowing lawns was a good way to stay active.

After being gifted several lawn care machines she’s now hoping to continue with her lawn mowing business this summer,  and wants to reach out to others going through cancer treatment.
