My mother, Jill, was diagnosed was a very aggressive form of cancer called glioblastoma in January of 2025. Since then, each day has been met with a wide variety of emotions and uncertainties. Every day is truly a blessing to spend with Jill. Despite all of the adversity, you won’t find a mean bone in her body. Her spirits are truly inspirational.

My appreciation for life and desire to spend quality time with family and friends has truly never been greater.  

I’m so grateful for all of the daily support, prayers and love that my family receives. No one should have to fight this awful illness alone.

I’ve signed up for the Angels Among Us 5K & Walk for HOPE—and I’d love your support!

I recently accepted the challenge to participate in this incredible event to help raise funds for brain tumor research. It’s a cause that means a lot, and I’m proud to be part of it.

The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke—founded back in 1937—is one of the oldest and most respected brain tumor programs in the country. They’re leading the way with innovative treatments and life-changing clinical trials, giving patients and families real hope.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward that mission. When you make a donation, you’re helping fund groundbreaking research and giving Duke the tools they need to keep fighting brain tumors.

If you’re able, please click the Donate Now button to support my fundraising efforts. Your gift is tax-deductible—and it truly makes a difference.

Thanks so much for being part of this with me!
