Time Magazine — “How a Cancer-Stricken Dad Chose a Council of Successors”
A new article in Time Magazine about “The Council of Dads.”
I was amazed when I read the article in Time Magazine. Two years ago I was given a death sentence of three….perhaps, but very doubtful, six months. I’m a single parent with an autistic son. During the short-time that I thought I had, I ran many of my friends, some of my colleagues, and some people I knew just casually through a series of questions and “what if” situations to try and find someone that would be a good fit for my son. It was both eye-opening and agonizing. Initially, I never found a complete complement of those special features that I was looking for in an individual who would guide my son throughout his life. Yet, on a lighter side, there was great humor in many of the “trials”.
At first, I thought I had beat the odds, but I am still dancing with the cancer. In fact, recently I came to the realization that I have only have limited amount of time left to dance.
It would be wonderful if you could post some information about some of the best ways to get involved in raising money or increasing support for lung cancer research. I lost a loved one from the disease, and it’s amazing that I never considered how important it is for people like me to advocate for those whose lives are quickly cut short by this terrible disease.
