I mention this mostly to preface a story did for Fightland called “Should Breast Size Be Factored Into MMA Weightclasses?”

I Saw The Light
Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.

Stephen Amell vs. Stardust
When Arrow television star Stephen Amell fought WWE’s Stardust at the pro wrestling promotion’s marquee Summerslam event there was a winner that wasn’t in the ring — a hospice called Emily’s House.
The pair created and sold a t-shirt that raised more than $200,000 for the house, in part to support some family friends of ours, the Muirheads, who had to spend some unfortunate time at Emily’s House.
To find out more about Emily’s House and why Amell and Stardust went out of their way to help it read my full story about it for Samaritan Mag.
