Early this year my youngest brother, Christopher was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He is currently undergoing Chemotherapy treatment at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
Christopher, a 21-year-old film student at Temple University, is working extremely hard to fight off this vicious disease. We as a family, are trying to eliminate his financial worry as best we can.
Christopher's ability to take life in stride no matter what it throws at him is truly amazing. Despite all the challenges he's faced he always finds a reason to laugh and smile. Please join us for laughs and lots of smiles at a fundraiser in Christopher's honor.
All the details are listed below. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at any time.
