Story

 

I’ve been walking in the annual American Cancer Society Walk and Roll event since the early 2000s. In the beginning, I walked with my HCSC colleagues. My little pups, Benny and Cody, walked in the event with me for many years before their little legs became too weary to carry them. I’ve walked with friends, I've walked with my dear nephew, Jake, and I’ve also walked alone. Who I was walking for has always been what makes this event and this day so meaningful for me.


This year, I am chairing a team for the first time. I am so proud that we will be 10 humans strong when we show up at Hutchinson Field on beautiful Lake Michigan on May 30. We will be walking for many special people in our lives; many that are here with us and some that now lovingly watch over us from above.


One person that I’ve supported rather quietly at this event is a longtime friend. I wasn’t sure how he’d feel about me sharing his journey publicly and candidly, I shied away from asking him in past years. He started treatment again recently for bladder cancer and I felt compelled to ask for his blessing. When we say that friends become family, it’s people like him that make those words a reality. He’s fighting tirelessly right now and he puts on a brave face, but this isn’t easy for him. It's not easy for anyone in his shoes and he has so much to live for. I know how fiercely he loves his family and I could not imagine my life without him, his incredible wife Jessica and their two beautiful daughters.

This one is for you Amit.  

The ACS is leading the fight for a world without cancer. My team is chasing a $15K fundraising goal and I graciously ask for your support to honor Amit and your loved ones who have also fought this disease so bravely.
