"Your visit to the Leever Cancer Center was on of the most special visits we have ever had! Your friendly nature and honest zest for living was conveyed with love at our 2015 Survivors Day Celebration. You were exactly what we needed — no the speaker has ever received such a boisterous standing ovation. Your message was honest, true and hopeful — exactly what we try to communicate to our patients, their caregivers and our staff.
"Your flexibility during the entire day was also greatly appreciated — from an early morning television interviews, a newspaper interview, afternoon presentation to cancer center staff into a rousing evening presentation to community members! I cannot forget to mention the special visit you made to our chemotherapy area. You certainly made one young lady smile; something she truly needed that day. I cannot emphasize the positive effect you had on everyone you met. We were proud to give away your CD’s to our guests. Everyone was thrilled to talk with you individually after your presentation and get their CD personally signed. " — Deborah Parkinson, Operations Manager, The Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center
