The "C"? Word
Deanne, her daughters Kayleigh and Gabby, and myself in 2008

The "C" Word

Many of you have asked about the pink ribbon tattoo on my wrist. It's something that @Travis Zurcher and I got together to honor the memory of our sister-in-law, Deanne Zurcher. Deanne was a f#cking warrior! She battled cancer for eight years, and NEVER let the disease take away her beautiful smile or the unwavering love she had for our family. When asked how she kept a smile on her face, she would say, "It's just what I do." Her positive attitude was felt throughout the Quad Cities region and she was named Komen's Survivor of the Year in 2010! Deanne has been resting peacefully since 2011 and while we've made great strides in cancer research, development and less invasive treatment options since then, we still have so far to go.  

Sadly, cancer has touched all of our lives in one fashion or another. Too many times, with a loss. Deanne is one of many special people I'm walking in memory of at the American Cancer Society's Making Strides event on October 19th at Soldier Field.

I just celebrated a milestone birthday and I'm asking my friends and family to honor the memory of Deanne and the many brave women (and men) still in this battle. Please consider joining my team, KDI for a Kure, and walking with us OR making a donation with the number "4" in it. From $14 to $400, every dollar helps and is a very special gift.
