Help Joe Beat Cancer and Spread Holiday Cheer

On November 11, my brother Joe was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. The cancer, which has spread to his liver, has come as a terrible shock to our entire family as well as to Joe's vast circle of loved ones and friends. 

His second round of chemotherapy is underway, and medical professionals have put together a promising plan for his treatment and recovery. Despite the long road ahead, we are hopeful Joe can beat this devastating disease. If you've ever met Joe, you already know of his humor, his happiness, and his unflagging positivity. If you have not been lucky enough to meet him yet, believe me when I tell you that Joe radiates sunshine and light wherever he goes. Ever since he was a little boy, he has been the sparkling star of the show, and the life of every party. He may be my little brother, but I've long looked up to him as an example of finding joy every single day.

In short, cancer messed with the wrong person. My brother is a fighter. I know he will come out of this on top and cancer-free. When it comes to Joe, I believe in miracles, and now I'd like to invite you to believe in them, too. As a family we are working hard to get Joe the best care possible. Any contribution would help him greatly. The road to recovery might be long, but it does not have to be dark. Together, we can all help Joe become the sparkling star of the show once again. Let’s get this show on road and Joe cancer-free!!
