The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out of the Window and Disappeared was only a book (ok, and a film). Believe it or not however, the 90-year-old woman who went on a road trip with her family instead of choosing cancer treatment is the remarkable true story of Norma, a Michigan woman who said no to chemotherapy and yes to living her dream.
Norma was diagnosed with uterine cancer soon after Leo, her husband of 67 years, passed away in July of 2015. When her doctor informed her about her possibilities for treatment, Norma refused the options available and instead decided to do the unexpected.
“I’m 90-years-old, I’m hitting the road”, she said. And that’s exactly what she did, and she’s been on the road ever since. Along with her son and his wife, the three have traveled all over the United States and they don’t look like they’re stopping any time soon. You can follow their inspiring journey on her Facebook page, Driving Miss Norma.
When 90-year-old Norma discovered she had cancer, she decided to hit the road.
Doctors told her she could undergo chemotherapy, but Norma had other ideas.
“I’m 90-years-old, I’m hitting the road”, she said. And that’s exactly what she did. Along with her son Tim and her daughter-in-law Ramie, Norma set off on an epic road trip across the United States.
They’ve traveled across several states and have visited many places on their amazing journey.
They’ve been to many places including Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park and the Rocky Mountains…
But wherever she goes, she always has a smile.
They left Michigan in an RV in August 2015 and they’re still on the road 6 months later!
