Yesterday was such a wonderful day, a great ending to a rough week for us. Jason & I had some dark days this last week but it’s all good & we have to keep pushing! After meeting the Carneal family in the afternoon yesterday, we met with Daryl Fields & his fiancé Carrie last night. Daryl is the gentleman who recently had his leg amputated from his rare cancer called Clear Cell Sarcoma. I shared his story about a month ago. It was such a pleasure to spend the evening …

Yesterday was Jason’s birthday, and it was one of the best days ever (aside from having chemo). Jbirdsjourney Foundation was honored to bless Andrew Coons and his beautiful family! Andrew is a kindhearted and humble man who faces not only his own challenges with his cancer (LGACC) but his young son is challenged with a very rare disease called Fanconi Anemia.

Others, the sergeant said, will never get a big, blue family on their side. “I’m OK because I’m military, so I have a lot of support,” Linta said. Some people haven’t been able to receive treatment after the rare diagnosis. “We need to help those kind of people,” Linta said. Source: Air Force Academy firefighter hopes his cancer battle …
