On October 26, 2023, I was be given the Courage Award by the MRF as the first ever for Mucosal Melanoma. This year marks my five-year anniversary from my diagnosis and in my world that means I beat what little odds there are.
Thank you everybody for your support and God bless

On July 28, 2023, after 3 1/2 years of growing my hair out, I finally got it cut and donated 6 strands of hair, each 9 inches long to Children With Hair Loss. After I survived from what was supposed to be a terminal fate, i wanted to give back in a way that was not measured in a monetary value but in a resource that can only be produced by a will to do so and Time.

July 11, 2023, At Water World in Denver, Colorado.  I spent the day with Thje Sun-Bus and The Colorado Melanoma Foundation Volunteering.  Such an important cause!

The month of May is Melanoma Awareness Month, and I'll do anything I can to help and so when I learned of this event in my hometown, I signed up to help and volunteer.

 I’m headed to Washington DC to spend my birthday meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. I have meetings with representatives from the district that I live in from North Texas including Keith Self along with meetings with representatives from Senator John Cornyn
When I was diagnosed in 2018 I didn’t know anybody in my area that had currently been fighting Mucosal Melanoma. I currently now know at least 2 to 3 people within 20 to 30 minutes from where I live that are fighting this. There’s gotta be something that can be done and more than I can do.
