The Untold Story Behind the Woman Who Shaped Josh Manson’s Journey to the NHL
Time— it’s the most relentless opponent cancer ever faced. It slips quietly through our fingers, stealing moments that no amount of money or accolades can replace. When my mom’s diagnosis came back in 2014, I didn’t fully grasp what those ticking clocks meant. But by the summer of 2023, as I sat beside her, all I craved was just a bit more— a handful of extra days, hours even. More mornings spent by the lake, watching her light up around her granddaughters, sharing those simple stands at my games where silence says everything. We were granted nearly seven and a half years beyond that initial prognosis— years filled with weddings, the birth of my kids, even a Stanley Cup win. Yet, amidst all the blessings, the ache of loss remains stubbornly fresh. This is not just a tale of my journey or my grief—it’s about Lana Manson, the woman who shaped me and the relentless fight cancer demands from so many. And it’s about why we keep pushing, keep funding, keep hoping— because at the end of the day, what we all want, deep down, is more time with those we love.
