In 2018 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, located in my cerebellum. Thank God, I was sent to UPENN where I met my Surgeon, Dr. Neil Malhotra. He performed surgery to remove what he could, without leaving me with deficits. Recovery was rough but my faith in God and amazing family got me through it. I am one of the lucky ones. It has been 6 and a half years since my surgery, and I have had no regrowth of  my tumor. My goal has always been to give back. I am part of the Air Force Wounded Warrior Mentor program where I have had the privilege of mentoring other brain tumor survivors (this was tough!). I recently found out about the NBTS and their event to raise money to defeat brain tumors. I would appreciate any donation you can make, it will make a difference to a lot of people!

 

The National Brain Tumor Society is committed to defeating brain tumors and improving the quality of patients’ lives. NBTS unrelentingly invest in, mobilize, and unite the brain tumor community to discover a cure, deliver effective treatments, and advocate for patients and caregivers.
