Summary

In this heartfelt episode, I am honored to share the inspiring story of Liz Hatton, a talented young photographer whose passion for Disney, love for photography, and unwavering strength left a lasting impact on everyone she met. We’ll take a look at how Liz’s love for Disney first began, how her family fell in love with Disney Cruise Line, and the special connections they made along the way, including meeting Jessica and Landon (former Disney Cast Members and owners of Vacation Grocery Delivery), who are friends that became like family. Liz’s story is one of courage, creativity, and unforgettable experiences, including the incredible moment when she had the opportunity to photograph and meet the Prince and Princess of Wales at Windsor Castle. Liz’s journey was shaped by her battle with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT), a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Through her diagnosis, she continued to chase her dreams, inspire others, and use her passion for photography to bring joy to those around her. We’ll also discuss Capture, a charity being created in her honor to support young people and their families facing cancer and to raise awareness for DSRCT research. Join us as we celebrate Liz’s remarkable life, her love for Disney, and her incredible achievements, and learn how you can help continue her legacy by supporting the fight against DSRCT. Tune in now to hear Liz’s inspiring story and find out how you can help make a difference.
