STAGE 1A
I went to school at LCAD (Laguna College of Art and Design) in Laguna Beach, CA and majored in Graphic Design
I was always scared of hospitals and the term “Cancer” freaked me out. Growing up I would get anxious when I would hear an ambulance go by.
If you asked me before I was diagnosed and told me that I would have cancer, I would have told you that you must be OUT OF YOUR MIND!
I was laying on the couch and all of a sudden, I had severe pain in my testicle. Luckily one of my family friends was an urologist. I went in right away to get checked got an Ultra Sound three days later, and I was diagnosed that day.
Luckily, I had surgery the very next day, and it hadn’t spread. Three weeks later, the doc said it was Stage 1.
Fast forward to present day. Little did I know the day I was diagnosed would change his life for the better! I have a completely new positive outlook on life that I never thought about.
Being the creative person I am, I wanted to reach out in an out of the box way and educate others. I created FREETHEBALLS in September 2015, and I have not looked back!
