Beating Cancer With the Help of the Cornell University Equestrian Team

Maeve & Moose: Beating Cancer with the Help of the Cornell University Equestrian Team, Sidelines Magazine, full story opener spread

Everything during Covid moved slower and this project evolved over a year. I heard of Maeve, a young girl who was adopted by the Cornell Equestrian team as she fought and won a battle with cancer.

The story was so compelling, I pitched the idea to Sidelines Magazine and they jumped at the opportunity to run this project.

As Maeve had a compromised immune system, we had to take extra precautions when shooting.

We scheduled a second session later in the year after team members and the head coach were vaccinated so the audience would be able to see their faces while ensuring at all times Maeve had been kept safe.

Read the article on Sidelines Magazine’s site. Also see the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, an organization that pairs children who have cancer and their siblings with sports teams to improve their quality of life.
