Kyle's Story

Jan 23, 2020

Kyle Frazier (middle left) recently stopped by one of our team meetings to share a little bit about his battle with cancer. Kyle was diagnosed in the spring of 2019 and just recently finished his last round of chemotherapy. Kyle is heading off to college at Savannah State University on a football Scholarship. Kyle's story is truly inspirational. Organizations like LLS help people like Kyle overcome the odds and beat cancer. Thank you so much for inspiring our team and Go Tigers!

  • Tom Brittingham

    Your ambitious effort to help research, fight and eventually eradicate all forms cancer will play a major role in this most important mission. We all have seen this disease affect someone in our families, friendships and relationships, in one form or another, which emphasizes the need for all of us to do what we can to join the fight. Anyone who participates in this campaign will be assuredly rewarded, as will those who will benefit from it.
