• How did you get involved with the CAC?:

  My wife and I have been supporters of the Castaways for a while now, but when my mom died last year from MDS the fire in me was lit. I don't want to lose anyone else I love to cancer, nor do I think anyone else should have to. We've made so many advances in medicine, and I want to do my part to ensure we finally kick cancer's butt!

  "I'm honored to be joining these guys on their mission, I hope to say that this is one of my greatest accomplishments. *fingers crossed* God Bless."
