My dad lost his battle with cancer in 2009. AML took him at an early age of 73. He was a doting grandfather and would have loved seeing my kids grow up. I don’t want patients to miss their family occasions.

Meet Thomas Goode, thousands have. Thomas is my friend, my One and a multiple myeloma survivor diagnosed in 2005. He has undergone three transplants since 2007. Thomas has a huge presence on social media as a champion for advocacy, patients and caregivers. He is an avid cyclist and most recently cycled across Iceland in a fund raiser for the IMF.

My dear friend Kim! The day after our last NOBU Orlando conference, I took her to the ER to hear her cancer (PMBCL) came back! Today, I am thrilled to say she is 1.5 years cancer free! She is one of the many, I dedicate my life to helping, so that some day, they too can celebrate!

My “one” is my dad! We lost him to esophageal cancer this month 14 yrs ago. The same day he was told it was time for hospice and there was nothing more that could be done I received the news that I had gotten my first job in oncology sales at GSK. Mission received! What an honor and privilege it is to serve patients in this capacity!

My One: My mom, who passed away from complications to breast Cancer! She always encouraged me to pursue my goals and was always my biggest cheerleader. Love you Mom!
