Randall's Adventures in Leukemia

The purpose of this page is to help me fight leukemia. Not just the best I can, but the best I, my family, my sunshine, my God, and my community can. I can't do this alone. I've had this now for over a year and can tell you there's more to it than just paying for the treatment. The diet, supplements, and tools. Getting exercise whether it be the ymca, walking my dog, getting to the river, any activity that gets me out of bed off the couch and outside is immensely important. Diet alone with the current economy puts me behind my monthly income after paying rent. Let alone things like internet, cell phone (currently don't have because I can't afford making communications with the multitude of doctor offices complicated), power, hygiene articles; we all know all the expenses to upkeep your house can stack up. I love my community and I believe my community loves me. I've always advocated for supporting local business. Growing up in the church and sports I've been volunteering since a young age. I started ref'ng ball at ymca when I was only 13 helping with Itty bitty basketball. I've worked with numerous church's, the ymca, the boys and girls club, and other entities reading with kids. I last taught Sunday school for the 4-7 age group around 2014 at Redeemer's shortly after the diabetes diagnosis. I was ran over at age 6 and had a rough childhood so I've always had a passion for helping with youth. I never wanted them to ever feel what I felt. I feel I've always proved the doctors wrong and done far more than I was told I could with all the impairments I've experienced. Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at my physical peak and all that came with was my first failure in my medical battles. But now with the cancer diagnosis I feel overwhelmed and I've asked for help. Twice I've asked for money and both times I was amazed at how many ppl were willing to give actual money. Some were ppl say I went to elementary with and haven't seen in 30 years. The hope for me with this is getting as much help as possible so rather stressing bills current or future I can focus on treatment, diet, and exercise. Stress is extremely bad for your health. Anything helps and this is just me reaching out. I love you all❤️
