Rome, August 2009: 25 years after being awarded the World Press Photo medal for "Daily Life Stories", Bill Frakes again photographed Missy Koch. In 1984 Missy was an athletic university student who lost her right leg to a terrible cancer. She now lives with her composer husband, Todd Billingsley and three children--Joey, Lukas and Abbey--in Rome and is dedicated to making life better for everyone she comes in contact with. Her story was described as follows by Bill himself: "Missy Koch, my dear friend. I knew Missy before she found out she had cancer. Like all of her friends I was stunned, paralyzed when I found out. For the next year I was with Missy documenting what she was feeling, how she was coping, just being there.

We've stayed in touch through the years and I've watched her work through the challenges surrounding being a cancer survivor. She is right where she always said she'd be, exploring the world with her family --happy and healthy. When things get tough I only have to look to Missy for inspiration."
