Andy, who has been pronounced terminally ill by his oncologists, says that people too often focus on the negative aspects of cancer and chemotherapy. He insists that there are plenty of bright moments to be found after diagnosis.
“Many of us know from personal experience or stories how devastating cancer can be but, if there are two sides to every coin, then what is the upside of cancer? Many patients whom I’ve met with tell me that they are actually glad to have gotten cancer. They tell me that through their diagnosis and treatment they have grown closer to the things that are most important to them in life. That they’ve learned to let the little stuff slide and to focus on what is truly meaningful to them.”
We’ll have a ton of great auction items, food, drink, music by Sarah Christine, and three wonderful speakers; Andy, and two professionals, Michael Mead and David James Duncan.
Some of our auction items (listed below on this page) include paintings created by Andy’s partner, Candise while she sat with him during his chemo sessions, photography from around the world, bamboo fly-rods, reels, weekend getaways, a river float trip on the Yellowstone River, a guided fishing trip on the Olympic Peninsula, glass artwork, custom clothing, dinner for 4 from a local chef, lots of heath and wellness offerings including massage, acupuncture, tai chi or qigong classes, certificates from loads of Seattle area establishments and much more!
Please forward this event to your friends and encourage them to do the same. The more the merrier!
With Much Love and Gratitude!
