April Stearns

A lifelong writer, April Stearns was diagnosed at 35 years old with Stage 3 breast cancer that she found while breastfeeding her daughter. Four years later, while struggling to “go back to normal” and find other young women in similar circumstances, April launched WILDFIRE Magazine as a way for younger women to tell and read breast cancer stories. April lives with her husband and young daughter on the coast of California . She likes to get away from all the hustle and bustle whenever she can to hike in the woods, but writing remains her purest escape.
