Carl's Cancer Fight!

Hi everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my friend’s story.

My name is Kellie DAndrea and I want to tell you a story about a friend of mine – Carl Nottberg who was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma – a form of cancer that attacks the plasma cells in your bone marrow.  – A very important part of our immune systems.

Multiple Myeloma is a relatively uncommon form of cancer and if you read anything online about it, you would be left with many questions and scared about what this cancer is really about.  You will start to worry and be concerned and wonder what exactly you are going to say to your friend. 

But that would be with anyone other than Carl, because within a second of speaking with him, he would wrap his arms around you with a big hug and a big smile as he tells you everything is okay. 

Carl has had a rough couple of months as he battles this monster.  He has been in and out of treatment while his immune system is attacked, he has experienced great pain and disorientation and brutal treatments to try to manage this horrible disease, but still telling those around him, he is doing okay.

He has been hospitalized for weeks at a time and suffered through so much discomfort, only to smile at you and say “I’m battling through it”. 

That is the Carl I know.  A strong, committed, tender soul who makes you feel like you are the only person standing in the room.  He is caring and kind and a beacon of light in our industry.

But, I know his expenses are piling up and will eventually become a burden.  Because nobody plans on this happening to them.





For those of you in our industry, you know Carl to be a strong advocate for support and philanthropy.  As one of the original founders of PRSM , he is credited with being one of the key people who have laid the groundwork for the trade association we see today.

He was the first the start the Charity Campaigns you see at PRSM and he is the first to stand up for what is right.

Not only do I admire him, I am honored to call him my friend as I know many of you stand with me in support of Carl.

Throughout the years, Carl has made so many connections, so many contributions to all of us, my hope was we can pay it forward and help Carl and his family out with some of these expenses.

Now, if you know Carl, he would be humbled by our efforts and appreciative for the simple thoughts and prayers.    Although he has never asked for anything and has never indicated anything but his positive attitude, I know he is involved in a rough battle and my hope is that we can help lift some of finanical burden so he can focus on getting strong again.   - We need him back at work!  LOL

Carl, we love you and we are praying for you.
