I completed the challenge in Oregon earlier this year and when I saw the chance to participate in Colorado, I decided to do it.

I was diagnosed with in March 2023 with right clearance renal cell carcinoma. I had a complete right nephrectomy in April, 2023 , and completed 18 doses of Keytruda every 3 weeks, in June 2024.

I’ve done well and had no evidence of cancer.

I’m happy to participate in this cause again this year. We’ve got to do all we can for research help all of us that are survivors.
