I’m a newbie to fundraising, and to dealing with Cancer in my own body. I’ve gone through it with loved ones though. Sometimes, it’s not pretty.

That’s me!

You may also know that the way that I asked her to marry me was well…different.

Chemo tip #1 : Drink lots of fluid. Otherwise it will burn to pee and you can get dehydrated.

Dragons like Smaug from the Lord of the Rings books, with his jewel encrusted belly. Smaug got that belly from laying around on gems that littered the floor of the cave in which he lived.
