On April 29th, 2014 my life changed. I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. A friend who was a breast cancer survivor told me one day I would thank God for giving me this trial to live through.

And I will never ever give up my hope of beating this deadly disease. God will bring me through it...of that I am certain.
