* Why a cairn?

The cairn, a stack of rocks balanced atop one another, serves as a trail marker—an international symbol guiding travelers to their destination. It is laid by those who came before in order to show the way for whoever traverses the same path in the future. So, too, these stories might ease the weary journey of medical illness, providing a map and serving as a reminder that, despite the solitude of the trail, no one goes it alone.
