What is unique is timing. When I was going through my cancer, my mother was too, yet we did not know it. You can read about this part in the upcoming book that is being written and will be published by the same group that publishes this magazine.
How am I, with the help of others, going to change cancer throughout the world? By building a movement called, “The Buddies Network.” Think of a matching site meeting an online community with humor, hope and heart. Ok, I know, you are thinking, “I have read this far for this?” Yes, you have! It is simple and it will work. I have witnessed it. Doctors and nurses have too. We know it will work and it is time!
The medical world is figuring out that the heart and mind really do have something to do with healing. And, if isolated while facing cancer, your chance of making it to the five-year mark decreases.
How do I know this works? This program is patterned after myself and my original buddy. And to date, we have had multiple people involved to a point that doctors have seen a difference and asked what their patient was doing different. Like I said before, a simple concept, not easy to pull off, yet we are doing it and will not stop until it is available to anyone throughout the world who is in need.
Where are we in the process of creating, “The Buddies Network” to be able to take it global?
We have social proof that our programs work. We have been building these programs for the last couple of years organically and manually. Now it is time to use the tools available to us. We must use the internet and smart phones to go global. As you can imagine, what we are building is huge. A team of volunteers has joined me in building this movement. We are calling ourselves, “The Dream Team.”
What do we need to bring our impact to the world?
We need you! We need buddies to join us. We need companies to join us as sponsors. We need volunteers throughout the world to say, “Yes, I see it. It is time.”
What would you do to have one more day with someone you lost due to cancer?
Many of us have lost family, friends, or someone we knew and cared for due to cancer. The huge thing to know is that we support not only the patient, we are also here for those who love and support that patient. Even if that patient has “earned their wings.”
This is a massive movement. We will be global without a doubt. There will be a time when someone hears they have cancer and they will automatically know their next step will be to get a “buddy.” Will this happen in 2020? I am not sure, yet, I know it can! Will you help to make this happen? Go to CB4L.org and join us. Become a buddy, a donor, a sponsor, a volunteer and share this movement with others. We can and will change the way cancer is done, one buddy at a time. My only question in looking at the end of one year and into the new is when? My hope is that it will be in the year 2020. Join me and you will be able to tell others and the world: “Yes, one person can impact the world” and that one person was me!
