Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Blood cancer moves frighteningly fast. Just weeks ago, my dad was with us — full of humor, strength, and love. We lost him 10 days after diagnosis.
In that short time, I saw how vital support for families is, and how urgently we need better treatments and research. No one should have to face this alone, and no family should lose someone so quickly without hope.
That’s why I’ve shaved my head and joined the fight against blood cancer. Every donation — big or small — helps fund life‑changing research and provides care for patients and families going through the hardest days of their lives.
I’m doing this in memory of my dad, and with gratitude for any support you can give. Together, we can make a difference.
Thanks for having your say

I think my personal survival from Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is in part, from a decade of green tea use. I heard a Dr on radio saying his trial showed a 50% chance of cancer not spreading, with 5x cups of green tea/day. &"matcha" green tea is 2x potent
