Imagine being diagnosed with Cancer at 23?

Being young is about having fun and discovering yourself. Being young is a period of your life where you have so much time. So much energy. And so many aspirations. As a 23 year old, I had all of these.

Until two days before my birthday I was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma. A rare blood cancer. The reaction: Silence and shock... The only thing worse than this? Being told they have no idea why.

A random, out of no where event and no one could have expected. The hardest three months of my life. Fatigue, itching, headaches, nausea and 2am hospital emergency visits. But in my lowest moments as a human being, came my greatest ideas. 

"23 & Hodgkin" is what came to mind while lying in hospital alone with antibiotics dripping through my vein with a 40 degree temperature. I want to write music and share my story.. 
If I make it out.

 And I did. So that's what I'm doing.

My campaign "23 & Hodgkin" is the Journey of a 23 year old with Cancer. My 5 song EP releases October. I want to raise money for research for blood cancer so we can find ways to defeat this awful sickness. We must find a way for early detection so we can eliminate it before it destroys anyone else. I appreciate all the support.
