I have been fighting health issues since I was young child. It astonished the greatest of minds from Johns Hopkins to the rarity of my diagnoses of T-Cell Lymphoblatic Lymphoma & Leukemia at the age of 44(2017) and a life saving stem cell transplant in 2018.

My story began 40 years prior, while I was waiting outside for the bus (with my Holly Hobby lunch box) across the street from TMI at 2924 River Road where I lived with my mother, who had just given birth to my brother, five months prior, and her husband in the the farmhouse owned by my grandparents Dorothy & Everet Quackenbush, also owned the “infamous” garden center that sold the flocked Christmas Trees.

That’s just the beginning…
