I am 17 and I have watched my father struggle with brain cancer my whole life.

I am 17 and I have watched my father struggle with brain cancer my whole life. He is currently in palliative care and has a very short time left to live.

I am strong... because my father was strong. Cancer is a devastating disease, and I will take every opportunity that is presented to me to make sure that no other family has to go through what my family did, or what millions of families have gone through in the past. My dad dedicated his life to making other people smile and to help them out in any way possible... that's why I Relay.
