I couldn’t put “Don’t Wait for the Green Light” down.
Andy had me hanging onto every word,
like she was right there in the room with me.

Who is Andy?
Race driver. Breast cancer survivor. And the woman behind this story.
Don’t Wait for the Green Light started as a personal blog during Andy Kahle’s breast cancer journey—just a way to keep friends and family updated while she navigated treatment. But it quickly became something more.
With her trademark humour, blunt honesty, and love for fast cars, Andy’s story turned into an inspirational memoir that people couldn’t put down. It’s a breast cancer survivor story that’s as heartfelt as it is hilarious—full of the kind of moments that make you laugh, cry, and feel seen.
Through her book, personal appearances, and speaking events, Andy continues to share one core message:
Find your passion and use it as your focus.
Because sometimes, the thing that gets you through the darkest moments… is knowing you’ve still got something worth chasing.
“Everyone needs something to inspire them to keep fighting, and mine was the knowledge that I would get back in my race car. ”

NOPE … RUNNNNNNN for the bathroom.
