Participant Profile - Cheryl Dunlap  
 

"When cancer stares you down, living and loving each moment is a powerful way to fight back."    

 

Since her husband Todd's melanoma diagnosis, Cheryl Dunlap and her family have been living life to the fullest - their best way to fight against the disease that appeared in 2001 and recurred seven years later.

 

Treatment has been grueling - chemotherapy, a pulmonectomy, craniotomy, radiation, open-heart surgery, and a clinical trial. Todd has also faced life-threatening blood clots. But if you ask Cheryl about her journey through cancer with Todd, she makes sure she includes the good things that have happened in the past 13 years: watching both of their sons graduate from college, celebrating a marriage and their first grandson, traveling, gardening, hiking, and wine-tasting.

Leaving a Legacy: Daniel Jacoby

Daniel Jacoby came to CSCVVSB as a participant after being diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1997, at just 31 years of age. He left us too soon, at age 37, at his home in Malibu surrounded by his loved ones. His spirit lives on at CSCVVSB through the bequest that he left the organization to ensure that future generations of cancer patients and their families could find the same hope and support that he found after his diagnosis.   

 

Daniel's Day of MagicSave the date for Daniel's Day of Magic, Sunday, March 16 at 1pm!  

 

We will have a magical afternoon for families, featuring a professional magician, as a tribute to Daniel Jacoby's adventurous spirit.
