Becky Terhaar hasn't added a story.
Our dear friend Brian Tomasulo was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in October 2013. He was the last person you'd imagine being the recipient of such terrible news. At just 32 years old, Brian was a Physical Trainer adored by all of his clients, and perhaps the most positive person on the planet. He is the first one to give you a giant hug, or a pep talk when you're down. Brian truly lives by his favorite quote, "Be the change you want to see in the world."
In May, after months of aggressive chemotherapy treatment, Brian had drastically improved. The cancer shrunk, he regained his strength and the outlook was good.
Then very suddenly, things turned in a severely different direction. A series of seizures landed Brian back in Danbury Hospital, where doctors discovered that the cancer had spread to his brain, and formed a tumor roughly the size of an egg. While they were able to operate, the seizures and surgery have left him facing a brand new set of challenges.
You can probably imagine how Brian's medical expenses have soared... And being in the hospital, he cannot work to pay for the chemo, speech, physical therapy he needs.
This is where we need your help. Please contribute whatever you can to help Brain recover from brain surgery and continue his fight against cancer. He has a long road to full recovery but it is possible with your help.
Thank you so much... From Brian, his family, and everyone whose lives he continues to touch. "Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi
