<div>If you’re reading this, thank you—I truly mean that.

<div>I’ve been diagnosed with <strong>Stage IVB oral cancer,</strong> and <strong>I’m now facing the toughest fight of my life.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve already undergone a major surgery (glossectomy), and <strong>the next phase is critical.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m about to go through aggressive radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy—treatments that are physically demanding but necessary for a chance at recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, I’ve spent my life in Boxing and as an Artist - I’ve been around many legendary fighters and major fights. Now, I find myself in the biggest fight of my own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This journey has already taken a serious toll, physically, mentally and financially. The costs are huge for this treatment and go far beyond the health coverage I have — treatment, specialists, dental, time unable to earn, medications, travel and accommodation at City of Hope Cancer Center (Duarte, CA), Speech Therapy and much more are adding up very quickly. With everything happening at once, it’s really overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m doing all I can to stay strong and push forward, but I can’t do this alone and I really appreciate anyone who stands by me during this fight. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to help—whether through a donation or simply sharing this page—it would mean more than I can express. Every bit of support helps me stay focused on what matters most: Being able to get through treatment and fighting for my future. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m approaching this the only way I know how—like a fight. One round at a time. I’m fighting hard and promise to keep doing so. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for having my back as I walk through the fire and face this horrible cancer head on. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your friend
