speaking schedule


Proactive living

We created an inspirational tag-team presentation and have addressed audiences in cancer centers, hospitals, medical conferences, business and community groups, churches, and to classes of high school, college and nursing students on cancer prevention, early detection, survivorship and quality of life issues (youll love Garys dry sense of humor!).

We also share information and resources about DEFEAT Cancer - a survivorship empowerment program founded by Dr. Archie Bleyer focusing on nutrition, physical activity, education and inspiration.
