Alisha Malloy: Finding Faith, Grace & Healing Through Breast Cancer and Unimaginable Loss
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, I have the privilege of introducing you to a woman whose story reminds us that even when life changes the music, the song is not over.
My guest is Alisha Malloy, a member of the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation’s SheROSE Class of 2026.
Alisha’s story is one of extraordinary love, unimaginable loss, breast cancer, faith, and ultimately, grace.
In 2012, Alisha experienced what no mother should ever have to endure when her beautiful 17-year-old daughter, Ciara Charmayn Malloy — lovingly known as C-Me — was tragically killed in a car accident. In an instant, the rhythm of Alisha’s life changed forever.
Years later, cancer would change that rhythm once again.
But Alisha discovered something powerful along the way: when life changes the melody we thought we were going to sing, it doesn't mean the music has ended.
Through her faith, Alisha has learned to hear God's grace in the pauses, His strength in the broken places, and His presence even in life's most painful movements.
She calls her story “The Symphony of Grace and Faith: The Melody, Rhythm, and Harmony.” And I think you're going to understand exactly why.
This is not simply a story about grief or cancer. It's a story about what happens when a woman chooses to keep singing — even through tears. It's about scars we no longer need to hide, weakness becoming strength, and believing that the places we never planned to be may be the very places where God is doing His greatest work.
It is my honor to introduce you to an incredibly courageous woman and SheROSE, Alisha Malloy.
