past history with cancer:

Older sister diagnosed with oral/throat cancer back in 2020. Survivor, fighter and tough as nails.

Jackson Layton, family friend, diagnosed with colon cancer 2025. Fighting like hell and makes me proud every day to know a young man like him. His faith and fight motivates me. Nothing I wouldn’t do for him, his wife and his family.

Directly affected by cancer through my sister and my friend, Jackson. Would be an honor to help this board bring attention to this disease and help fight.

I have a 30+ year history of a successful sales career in Kansas City, having met many people in the KC business community and feel my contacts could help raise money, raise interest, and help spread the word and message of this wonderful foundation.
