The fight against cancer is ever a reality for many.  Coop's 8 year battle with NH Lymphoma has been a journey of many twists and turns. The cancer came back again in 2021 and he was also diagnosed with AL Amyloidosis.

If you know anyone fighting cancer, give them a hug, be a help in some way, it does not ever go unnoticed.  Perhaps, the dream in our lifetime, we will see the total eradication of this insidious disease we know as cancer and see it stop altogether.
