In 2014 our first grandchild was born. We decided that having a family van that would be easy to install good car seat into would be a wonderful thing. I became Grandpa and my wife, Nana. Since we bought the van it has been a fun vehicle eventually transporting all three of our grandkids on all sorts of fun trips and adventures. Since this was my wife’s car it quickly became called The NanaVan.
This year, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My doctors, both my General Practitioner and my Urologist were alerted because of my climbing PSA scores. They were finally able to locate and biopsy the small tumor in my prostate and it was a very aggressive type of malignant cancer. Through their diligence it was detected prior to any movement through my bones or any other place in my body. I am currently in the middle of my beam radiation and hormone treatments. My PSA numbers are dropping like a rock and my prognosis is great.
My wife and I decided that the NanaVan should be replaced with a newer vehicle. We have been blessed in our lives with a family member giving their older cars to us and we liked the idea of donating our well loved NanaVan. We weren’t sure who to donate it to but then Nana found out that the American Cancer Society accepted car donations. Every Friday when I leave my radiation treatments, I wish the staff a great weekend and then say to them, “Thanks for saving my life.” With the donation of this well loved car my wife and I hope that the American Cancer Society can continue its work to fight cancer. I am the recipient of the work you have done up until now. So I will close by saying simply…Thanks for saving my life!
Thank you for supporting American Cancer Society.

My father died of cancer, but he used this truck to drive himself to every chemo and radiation appointment until the cancer finally took him. Now I hope the truck can give back in some way.

This Jeep is lovingly named Murphy (after Murphys Law) and it was my first car. I've had him for over 15 years and am the second owner. Ive maintained his repairs and upkeep diligently and he now has over 365K miles. I've loved every experience in it! Its helped me evacuate from fires, pull horse trailers, travel trailers, countless dogs, lots of road trips, and hauled around tons of friends and family! I couldnt bear to sell Murphy when it was time for a new, bigger car to carry all my animals so donating to a wonderful cause seemed the best solution. Like many, Ive lost family and friends to cancer so this seemed an easy way to honor them and let Murphys legacy live on!
