The stage is set, please play a part!

Hello family and friends, I hope this message reaches you in good health. For all that know me so well, I'm sure the expectation is a derivative of some self-inflicted wound that has rendered me incapacitated, to say the least. Not this time... I wish I could say I jumped off the stage into the audience and suffered a minor sprain from it. But this is not an act, and my injury is far more serious. I recently received a diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma. For those that don't know, it's a form of cancer, and I'm reaching out for support. The road to recovery will be long and costly, and I'm launching a fundraiser to help cover medical expenses. At stage 2 and the second month of doctor's visits, testing, and scans, my doctor's bill sits at a whopping $14,000. Through my many visits, I have been turned away from one specialist, radiation imaging, because I am self-pay, and I didn't have the total amount. All of my other visits from Bryan to Saint Elizabeth have been enlightening and overwhelming at the same time. The thought that I would live forever, coupled with the thought that my insides were pickled thanks to all the partying in college, have now been proven wrong. Regret that I didn't medically insure myself prior to this event is what I live with. But my spirits are high, and I feel more alive than ever, as I take each moment I live and give it a purpose! It sucks that sometimes it takes the thought of death to make you live again.

Please consider contributing to my Facebook Fundraiser to help alleviate some of the financial burden. Every donation, big or small, counts!

Thank you in advance for your love, care, and support. It means the world to me during this challenging time. And know this, it's not the final act. We are just making it to intermission. Part 2 is how I turn this around and let the world know... the show must go on!!!
