This week we received the call we've been praying for.

Rusty has been approved to begin treatment with daraxonrasib, one of the most promising new drugs ever developed for pancreatic cancer. We were told the medication will ship on Tuesday to the Knight Cancer Center, and we are incredibly grateful and excited to get this treatment started.


The past couple of months have been incredibly hard. Through it all, we've continued to trust God, give Him praise, and pray for healing, strength, hope, and miracles.

It's impossible for me not to see God's hand in this. After so many years with very few breakthroughs against this devastating disease, this new treatment becomes available the very year Rusty needs it. Some may call that coincidence. I don't.

I believe God opens doors, guides the hands of researchers and physicians, and answers prayers in ways we don't always expect. We know this medication isn't a guarantee, but we are filled with hope and thankful that Rusty has this opportunity.


Please continue to pray that this treatment works, that Rusty regains his strength, feels good again, and experiences healing. We are trusting God every step of the way and are deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and support that have carried us through.


"For with God nothing shall be impossible." – Luke 1:37


"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." – Philippians 4:13
