In 2008, I was ordained as a Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church. In 2011, I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer and I spent the next two years in some form of curative therapy (Radiation, Chemo and Physical).

Donn - Born and raised in Ohio.   After graduation, I entered the USAF.  When I married a widower with three young children I chose to separate from the USAF and be a full-time Mom.  Three days after our 20th Anniversary, Andy was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.  A friend gave us a Bag It.  Outside of prayer, it was the best gift we got during his illness.  I had no cancer experience and had no idea of how to cope with this illness.  The Bag It provided me with such great information and helped me be a better advocate for us.
