“Chasing Life follows twenty-something April (Italia Ricci), a smart and quick-witted aspiring journalist, who is trying to work her way up the ladder at a Boston newspaper by trying to impress her hard-nosed editor. When not pursuing the latest scoop, April tries to balance her ambitious career with her family – her widowed mom Sara, rebellious little sister Brenna and her grandmother. Just as things start to look up at work, home and on the romance front with co-worker Dominic, April gets the devastating news from an estranged uncle that she has cancer.”
I met Italia last year and fell in love with the show at the same time that I fell in love with her. This is a heart warming and heart breaking story at the same time. Cancer is a horrific disease to have at any age, but it is especially sad to see it affecting this beautiful girl, at the beginning of her life, and how she struggles with the disease, remission, and the desire to live a “normal” life.
I am excited for the Summer Premiere, and especially to see what happens next with April’s cancer and her wedding plans with….. Stay tuned and see!
And yes, every time I write about this show I am going to show off my pictures with Miss Ricci, she is a sweetheart in real life!
looks interesting..haven’t seen it..need to find time to watch this.
