19 Years Cancer Free in 2022

19 Years Cancer Free in 2022

On September 3rd 2003 I Had a 17+ hour surgery, a cranial-facial resection with a brain-lift, removal of right eye, cheekbone, and half of the roof of my mouth and some of my teeth. Moved 3 of my stomach muscles into my face to fill the space. Everyday is a Gift. Take Nothing for Granted. Since 2007 GFL Has Given Out $362,598.00 to Help People with Travel Costs When Traveling a Long Way for Cancer Treatments. Thousands of Care Packages Sent Out and Given Away at Events. I Have Been at almost 1000 events Meeting People and Sharing My Story to Give People Hope. Thank You Everybody for Supporting GFL

Stop 7 Recap: GFL Series at Charleston October 2nd 2021

GFL Series at Charleston had the most entries of all time with 89 in bowl and 132 in street. That combined with rain delays had us at the park from 7am and well past the 12 hour mark by the time we were done. Thanks to the Charleston scene and everyone who came from all around to be part of another GFL.
