To begin my story I am going to steal a quote from one of my patients about how feel I about cancer: "I can have cancer, but cancer can't have me." On December 26, 1989 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. What I endured in the subsequent 15 months of treatment was surely one of my life's biggest challenges. But having cancer turned out to be one of my biggest blessings. I was fortunate to survive and now 22 years later, I can tell you without a doubt that cancer has given me far more than it took away. I developed a true appreciation for life and the motivation to pursue my dreams. Over the years, I have had a host of wonderful experiences and met countless amazing people all because of my cancer diagnosis. Today I have the great privilege of caring for children with cancer and also working in the lab to apply our vast scientific capabilities to the still difficult problem of childhood cancer. On March 11, I will shave my head in honor of all the children and families for which I have cared. You have given me far more than I can ever repay you. With the support and tireless commitment of the St. Baldrick's foundation, we will continue to relentlessly work towards the day when all childhood cancer patients share my survivor story.
Be it known to all that this participant has dedicated at least ten years of service to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation helping kids with cancer throughout all the land.
