My Daddy My Hero

Published on July 17, 2019 in Share Your Story

Prior to May 8, 2011 I had never heard the word Glioblastoma. 

That day my world changed forever when Daddy was diagnosed with GBM. He underwent surgery, radiation and chemo. He went from the strongest man I knew to a prisoner in his own body. He fought with all he had for 17 months but the beast won. His fight has become my fight. Every day, until I draw my last breath, I will fight for Brain Cancer Awareness and for a CURE!

He will always be my hero.

Take Action this CCAM

Urge Congress to co-sponsor the BRAIN Act, strengthen funding for brain tumor research, and protect merit-based research. Act today because patients with pediatric brain tumors deserve more — more and better treatment options, more hope, and more time.
