In this episode of The Adjustment Game, host Jennifer Price, sits down with Jill MacDonald, a mother, teacher, and cancer survivor from Nova Scotia, whose journey embodies resilience and determination.

Jill’s life changed in 2014 when both she and her husband Jeff were diagnosed with cancer within days of each other. After losing Jeff and undergoing her own amputation, Jill faced the difficult task of rebuilding her life while raising three children. With the encouragement of her kids, Jill found her way back to the golf course — and in the process, rediscovered her strength and confidence.

Jill shares how adaptive golf became a vital part of her recovery, the emotional moment she returned to the first tee, and why sports have played such a transformative role in her life. Today, she not only competes but also advocates for inclusion in the game, serving on the Nova Scotia Golf Association’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and the ParaGolf Canada Player Advisory Board.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How Jill found strength after experiencing profound personal loss and amputation
  • The role her children played in motivating her to return to golf
  • Why golf became a turning point in her confidence and healing journey
  • How sports like skiing and adaptive golf opened new doors for empowerment
