Help Us Raise Awareness for Pineal Cysts

Donation protected
For three long years, my wife Kelly endured the debilitating effects of a pineal cyst. Doctors told us there was nothing to be done. “It’s not life-threatening,” they said. “You’ll just have to live with it.”

But what they called non-life-threatening was destroying her life—relentless headaches, dizziness, vision problems, overwhelming fatigue, cognitive decline, and even delusions. Watching someone you love suffer like that, while being told it’s “nothing,” is a kind of heartbreak we wouldn’t wish on anyone.

We refused to accept that this was the end of her story.

After years of appointments, cross-country travel, relentless research, and support from others facing the same nightmare, we found the one doctor in the United States who truly understood—and who offered hope through surgery. That operation changed everything. Kelly got her life back. We got our life back.

But every single day, we now hear from others—people just like Kelly—who are still suffering. The heartbreaking truth? There is only ONE surgeon in the entire country who will treat this condition. Only FOUR worldwide. Meanwhile, an estimated 8 million people are struggling with the symptoms and being told the same thing we were: “Live with it.”

It’s time to change the medical narrative.

We’re launching a podcast to amplify the voices of those who’ve suffered—and those who’ve healed. Through personal stories, expert interviews, and advocacy, we hope to raise awareness, push for more medical research, and help people feel seen, heard, and believed.

We’re asking for your support to help cover the costs of producing and promoting this podcast. Your donation will help bring attention to a silent epidemic and provide hope to those still searching for answers.

Please consider donating to our campaign—or if you’re unable to give right now, sharing this page on social media can help us reach someone who can. Every dollar, every share, and every word of encouragement gets us one step closer to change.

Thank you for standing with us. Your support truly means the world.
