10 years ago, Paqui Kelly was a 9th grade teacher
and wife of Notre Dame Football Coach Brian Kelly, (then the coach of the
Central Michigan University football team). Although she did not have a history
of breast cancer in her family and she was one of six sisters, her doctor
talked her into having a mammogram at the age of 37 as part of a physical exam
– the first one in her life. That test saved her life and shaped much of the
work of the Kelly Cares Foundation. This is her compelling story of how life
sent her an unexpected and eye opening challenge. Listen here to Dr. Marc Hardy interview Paqui as she opens her heart and talks about how modern medicine,
love, family, faith and community helped her survive and give back.
"Sharing Fire" is about discovering meaning in our lives through our innate power to ignite the possibilities in others by re-gifting the good we have each been given. The title is derived from the Greek myth of the Titan hero Prometheus who saved the mortals from death by returning the fire that the Greek god Zeus had taken from them. This act was called “philanthropia” – the love of humans – and is the origin of what we now call philanthropy.
