Twenty four years ago today, the doctor told me those fateful words…”you have cancer”. It was the day that I was told that I had Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. It was a shock to everyone, especially to me. And although that is technically not a good thing to celebrate, I choose to look at it positively in the way that no matter what I’m going through now, I’m still here and healthy. Getting sick and having my transplant changed me. Not only did it change my DNA and blood type, it also changed my attitude and personality. I’m more outgoing and less shy. I try to live my life to the fullest and I’ll talk to anyone and everyone that will listen about my story and what I went through. I’m a Bone Marrow Transplant Mentor to help others who are going through a transplant. Along with doing that, I raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by participating in their Leukemia walk every year. And I will continue to use my story to help others who are going through what I went through. So technically, it’s an anniversary of something bad that happened in my life, I choose to celebrate the fact that I went through all of that and I’m still here, alive and kicking. 🧡💚

Honoring all the cancer fighters, survivors like me and all the loved ones we lost to cancer on this World Cancer Day 🙏🏻❤️ This July, it will be 24 years since I had my life saving Bone Marrow Transplant that cured me from Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia 🧡💚

And I recently registered my team for the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society this year in Chicago on October 19th.

If anyone would still like to donate to my Leukemia walk this year, the link to my page will be open for just a little while longer. And a big thanks to all the generous people that have donated so far to make my 20th year walking a huge success in raising more than my personal goal! ❤️
