I'm raising money for the Dempsey Center!

Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page for this year's Dempsey Challenge!

As most of of you know, Justin was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on August 9, 2021.  What follwed was almost 3 years of grueling treatments, consisting of 11 inpatient stays, countless Emergency visits and many many chemo treatments. He just hit his 2 year  treatment completion mark (they tell us that is big) and as he approaches his upcoming 5 year survival date (!!), we are slowly moving into our post-cancer normalcy without the daily "what if" thoughts and anxieties and obvious emotional and physical scars, and we are ready to start trying to give back to the people who supported us throughout our way.  We both utilized the Dempsey Center to help support us in the journey and want to help others receive the same suport we were so lucky to have. Please consider helping us findraise for this amazing resource for cancer warriors, survivors and their caregivers. 

The Dempsey Challenge is the premiere fundraising event for the Dempsey Center, a nonprofit founded by actor Patrick Dempsey. The Dempsey Center makes life better for people impacted by cancer by easing the side effects of cancer by improving their physical, emotional, social, familial, and functional well-being at any point in their cancer journey--all at no cost.

With a donation made to my page, you can help support thousands of cancer patients, survivors, care partners, and their loved ones. Gifts of any amount will provide no-cost support for years to come.

Thank you for your support!
