Never Leave Your Wingman:
Dionne and Graham Warner's
Story of Hope
by Deana J. Driver
"The Lord is not ready for me yet!" laughs seven-time cancer survivor Dionne Warner as she dances around in costume inside the waiting room of the Allan Blair Cancer Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan. Dionne and her fun-loving husband Graham have battled cancer head-on with laughter, joy, courage and hope since her December 2009 diagnosis of Stage IV cancer of the liver, lung and bone. They've made their way into chemo dressed as pirates (The Last Saskatchewan Pirates), cowboy and cowgirl (Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy), disco dancers (Disco Inferno), rock stars (Thunderstruck) and more! Dionne has also shared her story with numerous patients and cancer organizations, including Relay For Life and CIBC Run for the Cure, and raised more than $50,000 for cancer through her 'Little Shop of Hope.' When Dionne was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2001, she told Graham, who was her fiancé at that point, that he did not have to marry her and she would return to her home in Toronto, Ontario. An experienced pilot, Graham quickly said: "You never leave your wingman."
This beautiful book is an unforgettable, inspiring true story and a lesson in love.
