Gary Johnson A continuing adventure Gary Johnson When Gary Johnson went in for surgery to remove a cancerous prostate, doctors discovered that the cancer had already spread to his lymph nodes. Now hes on a treatment that is designed to hold the cancer cells in check for as long as possible. Since theres no cure for my cancer, my challenge is to live as long and as well as I can, says Gary. Unwilling to sit back and worry, he and his wife Marlys focus on being proactive in facing down the disease. They have gathered a team of medical professionals, family, friends, and other cancer survivors as a support system. Gary has also changed his lifestyle—hes getting more exercise, getting better nutrition, and finding ways to manage his stress. My challenge is to live as long and as well as I can. Garys cancer diagnosis completely changed the priorities in his life. Hes now focused on family, faith, and the outdoors. He and Marlys established the 501(c)(3) non-profit Cancer Adventures , and travel across the United States, telling their story to cancer survivors, students, and health professionals. Not knowing what the future holds is the hardest part, Gary said recently. The three things getting me through every day are my faith, my wife, and having this purpose to help others. Having a purpose has turned a negative into a positive. Because they fight,fight,fight to Live! We want to help sponsor 200 Cancer Survivors to a night of Jazz and shopping!
