Exciting Next Steps – From Fundraising to Awareness & Impact

1 day ago

When I first started sharing my journey, I was lifted up in ways I never could have imagined. Every donation, message, and act of kindness became a light in my darkest moments, and I am forever grateful to each and every one of you. Your support didn’t just help me—it empowered me to pay it forward.

Through this experience, I have come to firmly believe that helping or healing one person affects many more. The ripples of kindness, strength, and resilience extend far beyond what we can see. I am here to seek out what is possible, to have hope, and to keep pushing forward—because just because they say it’s improbable doesn’t mean it’s impossible. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.

That’s why I’m shifting from direct fundraising to a more sustainable way of raising awareness and creating impact. Through events, speaking, and new merchandise, I’m building something that allows me to continue this mission—helping others take control of their health, embrace resilience, and navigate life’s challenges with strength and hope.

The Untold Cost of Being Sick

One thing that is rarely talked about is the enormous financial burden that comes with being sick. Cancer has been hugely costly, and even with the incredible support of this community, I am still in debt and facing significant expenses to continue getting well. The reality is that all cancer patients face this struggle—choosing between treatments, therapies, and financial survival. The cost of health shouldn’t be a privilege, but for many, it is.

That’s another reason why I’m committed to building something sustainable. This isn’t just about me—it’s about advocating for a system where people don’t have to face these impossible choices alone.

The Next Chapter: How This Will Look Moving Forward

🌿 Survivorship & Thriving – I’m not just surviving; I’m thriving. I want to show what life after a challenge can look like—embracing health, hope, and the power of possibility.

🩷 Helping Others – I’ve accumulated so many valuable resources, tools, and insights throughout this journey, and I want to share them. Whether it’s wellness practices, mindset shifts, or simply encouragement, I hope to make someone else’s path a little easier.

⚡️ Collaborating with Organizations – I’ll be working with groups aligned with my mission, whether it’s cancer support, health advocacy, or resilience-building initiatives. Through speaking engagements, partnerships, and shared initiatives, I want to amplify this message.

📖 Sharing Stories—Mine & Others’ – There is profound power in storytelling. I will continue to share my own journey, but also highlight others who have walked similar paths. Because it’s easy to feel alone in life. It’s hard. But you are not alone.

⏳ A Call to Action: If Not Now, When? – It’s so easy to say, “Later.” But how many laters do we really have? The time to act, to connect, to live fully—is now.

This is more than a personal journey—it’s a movement of strength, resilience, and the unwavering belief that just because something seems improbable doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
