American Cancer Society Car Donation Review
“In 2006 I was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer…It’s been 19 great years and still going strong!”
In 2006 I was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. It’s very deadly as there was no pain just indigestion. I asked my two older brothers if they had indigestion and they said as you get close to 50 that’s what happens. Well it turned out to be stomach cancer and they got me in for surgery, chemo, and radiation. They removed most of my stomach, my spleen, part of my liver and pancreas as well as about 15 lymph nodes. It’s been 19 great years and still going strong! I hope they use any money they get back to use it for research. Thanks!
Thank You, Martin!

Oli’s 2010 Honda Insight Donated to March of Dimes
This was my first ever car that I got while in college. I planned to buy a cheap, used car with my savings but my mom surprised me by chipping in a bunch to help me get a new car. I named her Eustace and she carried me the 6+ hours to and from college for every vacation. She witnessed first love, graduation, and moved to the big city with me. She was tough, facing blazing summers, snow plows burying her for days, and alternate side parking. She drove my fiancee and I to our first house and then our wedding. She came and went to the NICU dozens of times until our beautiful baby was ready to come home months later. I was so nervous driving with our baby in the back seat for the first time, but Eustace was as steady and reliable as ever. She’s retired from our family now, but can hopefully still do some good for others.
