I promise to beat this cancer

Anyone who knows me, can tell you that I am as self-reliant as it gets. That I wear my heart on my sleeve and always make time to help anyone in need. I started martial arts when I was eight years old, and I have never looked back. The arts have taught me much more than just how to protect myself. It has taught me how to handle the toughest fights that had nothing to do with my fists. It taught me to face adversity head on and to find the positive in every situation. To be thankful for heart breaks and embrace failures because they give me the opportunity to learn and grow into an even better man. That you can come back from mistakes and that loss is never final. After everything that I have been through, even now, I love my live and all those I have met l along the way. Many of you may have heard that I recently started a new chapter in my life. Stage 3 testicular cancer. unfortunately, I will not be able to handle this disease by myself. Everyone knows our health care system is broken and although I may have help down the road, the treatments and the help I need have to happen now, for me to make it to that point. Asking for help is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I am asking. If you or know anyone willing to help, in anyway, I will be eternally grateful. Thank you. Once I cross this finish line I will know I did not do it alone, and I will do everything within my power to continue to help those who can’t help themselves.
