MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Hayley Arceneaux is going to space to show what life after pediatric cancer can be: without limits.
Arceneaux, 29, a cancer survivor working at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital will be one of four people on the first all-civilian mission to space, scheduled to launch toward the end of the year.
A central goal of the mission, named Inspiration4, is to raise funds and awareness for St. Jude.
“I think for my patients to see someone just like them and for other survivors to see somebody who s been through cancer going to space, I think it’s going to mean so much for them,” Arceneaux said in an interview Tuesday.
