My wife, Erin Gaffney, is the bravest and most courageous person I know today. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor a little over two years ago. Even though, this life changing news was scary. She kept the faith to fight through her journey with a very positive and optimistic attitude with the love and support from her family and friends. From the day she had her surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy. On those days that challenged her most. She never complained or lost her willpower to remain focused on living a normal life again. Today, she is an ambassador for head for the cure and has been to the US congress to advocate for brain tumor research with its representatives. Also, she has been a very active mentor to friends and family members who have since been diagnosed similar to hers. We all are very proud of Erin and love her very much. It’s because of organizations like head for the cure is why we have hope that brain cancer can be beaten for her and everyone else.
