Story

It has been about a month since Billy died. A month before that he got great news that the technician had read the MRI wrong and his tumor wasn't growing or moving. He was hopeful about starting the experimental cancer treatment. Billy had just turned 70 and was always so full of life. He wanted to live. Fuck Cancer.

I'm swimming for Billy and EVERYone who has or has had to battle with it.

Josh is swimming with me. This month we will swim 5 miles to raise funds to support American Cancer Society

Dentro de unos días se cumplirá un mes de la muerte de Billy. Un mes antes recibió la gran noticia de que el técnico había leído mal la resonancia magnética y su tumor no crecía ni se movía. Estaba imbuido de esperanza por empezar el tratamiento experimental contra el cáncer. Recien cumplido 70 años Billy, siempre estaba tan lleno de vida. Quería vivir. Puto cáncer.

Estoy nadando para Billy y para TODOS los que tienen o han tenido que luchar contra esta enfermedad.

Josh nadará conmigo. Nadaremos 5 milas este mes para recaudar fondos en apoyo de la Sociedad Americana contra el Cáncer.
