Anyways, in 2010 my brother found out he had a rare form of non-hodgkins lymphoma (on is 30th birthday).
This guy was always, always in great shape. Football player from age 6 through college.
It was one of those things that just didn't seem right at all...there's such much more deserving people of cancer in this world (rapist, murderers, etc).
He did a self transplant in Nebraska which didn't work.
In November 2011, I was a stem cell donor for him and shortly after he told me it didn't work either
That kinda didn't surprise me, as I've had a blood disorder myself since 1997.
He passed away March of 2012.
Since then I've been a huge advocate of finding cures for cancers in general.
Here's my shameless plug and no one is by NO means obligated to even click on the link, but for the 2nd year I'm participating in a walk for blood cancers in my brother's honor.
I'll share the link and anyone can do what you'd like with it.
Thanks for looking
