"Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud." ~ Maya Angelou

In the summer of 2014, a proverbial cloud hung over my head as I learned that the unexplainable vision issues I'd been experiencing in my right eye were the result of a "silent," slow growing brain tumor.  In 12 short days, I went from Patient to SURVIVOR! My desire to try and be that rainbow in someone else's cloud propelled me to ADVOCATE the moment I learned about UCHEALTH's "Walk Ahead for Brain Tumor Discoveries" 5K!  And 12 Years later, I'm still here!

When you donate or join my team of BElievers, you are helping to ensure that my rainbow continues to be a beam of HOPE for the next person who receives this diagnosis AND support the GRAYt work UCHEALTH is doing to spark discoveries that will one day lead to a CURE! No donation is too small and every ounce of support is deeply appreciated!

Please join me as I support the UC Brain Tumor Center at the 2026 Walk Ahead for Brain Tumor Discoveries on Sunday, October 18th!
