Ah man, this sucks to be reading. Marv went out of his way to reach out to my wife and I and share his personal war stories and experiences with my wife, Raquel when she was diagnosed. He really helped us both out, while dealing with his own fight. We were both inspired by his words. ❤️

Its been a while since I have made a update on Raquels fight with breast cancer. There is a lot going on with other members, such as Steph and we did not want to write any updates as she and others were in the thick of their health issues.

Raquel bravely finished chemo as well as 6 weeks of everyday radiation, it was btutal, but she did it all with a smile for our girls. Shes been eating well and drinking lots of water.

As Eugene menyioned above, our everyday lives are altered. Every headache, every pain or sniffle worries us. We are learning to better manage our fears, but we both worry about our two young girls. Kids at their age certainly complicate things and intensify our fears at time. I often find myself, preparing myself for a worst case scenario and the conversation I would have to have with my girls.

Over all were being the best we can be. We were unable to make PIF due to some responsibilities but I did get Raquel and my girls out for a night of camping. Great family time.

Today we are back in the hospital for yet another surgery. Raquel is having a full hysterectomy to cut down on the estrogen and progesterone production in her body, which her cancer aggressively feeds on.

Just wanted to take a moment to update Raquels situation and thank you all for the very generous support.

From our family to yours, lots of love ❤️

Amazing. I cant believe this. Makes me smile. Unfortunately my daughter and wife were both recipients, but fortunately this was in place or my family would be in huge health and financial crisis. I thank you all for supporting all PIF recipients, that support and love goes a very long way. Very proud to be part of this and very thankful. You guys took this to the highest level. Love you all ❤

My family doesnt know Steph since we had to move, but our love and support is with her. ❤

Jim,

Raquel and I purchased some tickets, having issues with Paypal here. Please confirm when you have time.

If for some reason one of our tickets is a winner,  we would also donate the kayak back to PIF.

As always, THANK YOU!

Raquel and I would like to donate to Steph. Where can I find the link? Currently at work and can not read back through the posts.

Thank you.

Sorry to hear this, so many health problems for many families, wishing you well from our family to yours 💖
