Story From Dan Price at the Mall in Sierra Vista...
Alma Pipes is a brave young woman.
She is battling brain tumors yet on a mission to help others.
At 11, Alma was having headaches, checked into the hospital, and a brain tumor was diagnosed. "The tumor was as big as a plum," Pipes said.
The young lady, a Sierra Vista resident who now has her own apartment and a cat named Burrito, is a survivor now of not one but two more tumors yet finds a way to help others with her unique artistic ability to recreate her thoughts through print -- a cartoon book called The Hive, Buzz of New York (see the cover below).
In short, Alma (photo left with a beautiful smile) creates a unique group of heroes in her comics, each with unique challenges and disabilities.
The main character is Emmy, who suffers from reoccurring brain tumors, and she eventually becomes a superhero and finds a way out of her darkness and into the light.
Emmy, I mean, Alma and I talked at length. She is undoubtedly becoming a businesswoman. I had a few bucks in my pocket. I bought the book. I said goodbye and walked away.
And suddenly, my problems disappeared.
Thank you, Alma Pipes.
