On July 10, 2024, my wife MaryAnn was diagnosed with breast cancer. Seven months later, on February 12, 2025, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

It has been a difficult year for our family. While we continue our fight, we are  thankful and blessed for the support and love of our family and friends. We appreciate the kind words, gifts, thoughts and prayers. It is often said that in cancer . . . no one fights alone. Truer words were never spoken!

We have learned so much during our journey together and realize more than ever that good health is vital in the foundation of life.

• 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
• 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime

September is prostate cancer awareness month. October is breast cancer awareness month. It is our honor to participate in two events to fundraise for a cure for prostate and breast cancer. We invite you to join our team and walk with us, donate to our team, and pray for a cure. Whatever you are able to do, we are sincerely thankful.
