‘At this time to fight a new opponent: Cancer. I’m grateful for the support and thankful for people who have stood firm with me. 

There hasn’t been a single step I’ve taken without hundreds of people lighting the path before me, and I will continue to seek their guidance. 

‘That being said, I’ll go kick this thing’s a** and get back to doing what I love! AMDG!’
