Subject: Turning Hope into Action: My Journey and the Path Forward
Life has a way of shifting in an instant. This year, I was faced with a challenge I never saw coming: a diagnosis of a rare brain tumor. It was a moment that redefined my world and tested the limits of my strength, and the strength of those I love most.
But if there is one thing I’ve learned through the scans, the treatments, and the uncertainty, it’s that hope isn’t just a feeling—it’s an action.
I am standing here today because of the brilliance and "never-back-down" spirit of the team at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke. Since 1937, they have been the gold standard for care, turning "impossible" cases into stories of survival through groundbreaking clinical trials and relentless innovation. I am living proof of the impact of their work.
Now, it’s my turn to fight back for the next patient.
I’ve formed a team for the Angels Among Us 5K & Walk for HOPE, and I’m asking you to join me in the hunt for a cure. My goal is to raise funds that go directly to Duke’s research—the kind of research that saves lives like mine every single day.

With immense gratitude and hope,
Scott
