I want to take this time and introduce everyone toTyler who has been fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Leukemia for over two years. Tyler is an 8 years old who is the strongest fighter that I come to know. I first meet Tyler last summer and realized that this kids was a fighter. Back when I meet Tyler he had to get around by wheelchair and to see him now able to walk around and enjoy everything around him was a great sight. Tyler is the one person to really inspire me to participate in my event. I figured if he can fight cancer, I could take on the challenges from doing my event.
Thinking of what cancer patients go through and what they would do to be in my position really is an eye opener. From watching my grandmother who beat cancer over 18 years ago and is still cancer free to this day and seeing first hand how cancer can take one of the most loving and caring people I know in my wife's aunt, Tia Chuy. Seeing the way cancer fighters have fought to beat cancer has inspired me to do something for them and the way that I would be able to this would be by giving my blood, sweet and tears to help find a cure. This is why I have joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training to help cancer fighters get through everyday to show that people are willing and able to go to fight for them and that they are not in it alone. I can never imagine what cancer fighters go through but I could imagine one day that they would become cancer free because of something I was a part of!!
I ask you all that if you or anyone you know has fought cancer and know how hard it can to please help me in raising money for research grants and every day activities such as being able to pay for parking day after day at the hospital....Please go to my link and make a donation,
