He celebrated  6 years of remission before becoming lethargic at a family reunion in October of 2019 . It was back.The cancer treatment required this round was surgery along with chemotherapy that started in April 2020.  During a 6-month check-up, in December of that year, they found the cancer was back again and this time Vance needed a 3rd surgery. It was  followed up with radiation treatment.  As of April 29, 2021 to present day, he is Cancer Free!  RING THE BELL!

Men are in need of help. During my journey and battle with breast cancer, I realized as a man we are not equally represented in the Pink Ribbon battle. I'm not trying to even the score, just join the battle. Men AND women have breast.  Men need to be educated, aided and supported through the battle of breast cancer disease.
I’ve dedicated my life to letting men know we are vulnerable to this disease.   

I started my non-profit
“Pink Ain’t Whatcha Think!”  a organization that helps not only Men with Breast cancer but ALL cancer patients during there journey..  

We have several tiers that we offer to the community.  
-Blankets of Love 

-PAWT Planning Posse

-Cremation Assistance
