Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃🍁 Immensely grateful for everyone who donated for the Charlotte Brain Tumor Race. Blew my fundraising goal out of the park! secure.braintumor.org/site/TR/Teamra…
It’s 2025 & I officially finished radiation treatment yesterday (maxed out, actually). My life changed forever on 10/2023. Cancer has taken and continues to take so much from me, but we’re keeping on 🫠🤞🏼
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Dr. Samantha Garza. In honor of Sam's life, we invite you to donate in her memory to fund brain tumor research. Thank you to everyone who supported Sam throughout her battle. We love you forever, Sam. gofund.me/94b84c9b

If your organization/ company/ place of business has remained silent about its commitment to DEI, I think you need to reconsider your org’s (and maybe even your own) values.
Could not get treatment at MD Anderson. Started some more radiation & immunotherapy here last week. (Thanks @Humana 😒) I’m exhausted. This has all been too much physically & mentally. I’m not sure how it will all play out. No regrets.🤞🏼
I have an amazing team working on it for me, but still, it’s the principle. 🎯
Well, it wouldn’t be right to give Sam a break, now my access to treatment is being delayed by insurance. Again.😭🙃 Very American, very on brand.
