Sandy Dworkin – A Miracle Walking

Sandy Dworkin, a vibrant 71-year-old mother, wife, grandmother, and line dance instructor, has led a full life marked by health, energy, and a commitment to community service. Active since retiring at 50, she became a prominent line dance teacher, performing at various charity events and earning an award for outstanding contribution at her community, Nettles Island.

In 2019, after a hurricane evacuation, Sandy experienced severe back pain that led to the discovery of a tumor on her spine. Diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, she faced a challenging treatment journey that included chemotherapy, radiation, and a stem cell transplant. Her battle with the disease was complicated by a life-threatening infection that led to her being placed on a ventilator in a medically induced coma. However, the support from family, friends, and prayer circles around the world played a crucial role in her recovery.

Sandy's resilience is evident as she continued teaching line dance even during treatment and managed to maintain her health through daily walking and spiritual growth. She also started a diverse Bible study group, learning about Jesus and fostering interfaith understanding. Throughout this ordeal, Sandy has focused on surviving, not feeling sorry for herself, and embracing her faith, health, and family support.

Her story is one of strength, perseverance, and a deep belief in the power of community and prayer.
