During the past 12 months many people have come and gone in the world and changes have occurred all over the Earth. Hard to believe on April 22nd, 2004 just 1 year ago today I learned of something that would change my life as I know it today.
Last April I came to my wrestling family through both this wrestling website and themat.com and told you of my diagnosis with cancer. The chances of survival were low then, but then again I don't think my docs ever dealt with a wrestler. As I continue to battle with my health and undergo tests in the next few weeks to check a spot on my heart, I may not be on here as much...please know that I wish I were on here, when I may be in a PET Scan or even on the operating table for possible Open Heart Surgery.
You all have been great in supporting me and I'm humbled by your outpouring for me. I was never the "elite" wrestler, and I feel that I'm near the top of the podium as we speak. I know looking back on the days spent puking and nights sweating that the worse looks well behind me. I know I still have a long way to go, but with the support of my wrestling family, the journey will be easier than traveling alone.
Thanks you all and God Bless!
P.S. You can keep up to tabs with my cancer battle and read back on everything from day one on my site:

Please keep Kortney Lake (Adams State College All American) in your prayers, he has a very bad form of cancer and is truly fighting for his life...if you can help attend a fundraiser or contact the coaching staff at ASC to send money do it, we need to help our fellow brothers on the mat and off it as well!
