Fisher and Collins

FISHSTRONG: The absence of fear in the face of insurmountable odds.

Click here to read - SWANSBORO RESIDENT RECEIVES SURPRISE GRADUATION CEREMONY - a great article about Jeff and his much deserved day.

If you read my blog regularly you know that Jeff Fisher (the pictured graduate) is a fraternity pledge brother of my brothers (pictured far left) that is currently battling a reoccurring brain tumor. Read the above article to get a better idea of Jeff's unbelievable story and to hear about the great weekend surprise he got over Thanksgiving. For those that don't know, Jeff has been on the fight of his life the past 2+ years with cancer and just 3 weeks ago was diagnosed yet again. I've never seen someone with such a positive outlook and such a strength to kick somethings ass like Jeff. It's amazing. Starting yesterday Jeff will receive 5 radiation treatments, along with 26 rounds of chemo through an IV, everyday, every 2 weeks at Duke, for 2 months. This kind of stuff weakens the immune system  so his visitors will be limited. Jeff has beat his brain tumor time and time again, and it's been with strong support from himself, friends, and family. You never know when you ask for someone to "Say a prayer" what they go and do next, but in this case, I ask again.....and follow that with a HUGE

THANK YOU!!!!

Look at our Nick Collins!! Check him out!

Back on August 10th I was asking you to cross your fingers, say a prayer, wear your pajamas backwards, whatever it took. We needed a miracle, and we got one. Time and time again.

Then, at the beginning of October Nick's story touched a whole bigger family, the Clemson family, and who knows just how many people have had him under their wing.

Nick's Dad posted a new Caring Bridge post today and it seems that his recovery is moving right along. No more infection, 1 more surgery, some recovery, and then off to rehab! Nick is ridiculous. I love it!!  http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/nickcollins

I couldn't be more impressed with these two guys. Keep the thoughts and prayers coming.

And of course, if some Angel from heaven is reading this and thinking about how much they hate how much just even 1 co-pay and prescription can cost, then starts to add up in their head what the Collins and Fisher families are enduring, please feel free to contact me to help in any way you may be able.

Happy Holidays!!
