                                                                                                                                                             I believe our purpose is to make a difference, add value to others and offer hope and encouragement to others daily. For my clients my mission is their purpose, my job is to encourage change, inspire growth and motivate progress.                                                                                                                                        This clip is from The Cancer Survivor Celebration and Relay for Life that I had the opportunity to be invited to be the keynote speaker on my program; The "Why Factor" Six Reasons to Keep Living and Enjoying Your Gift of Life. From my book, It's not about cancer it's about you.

Great news! You never know how far a relationship can take you. So knowing that I highly recommend being considerate and nice to people. Most people care about other people and have a true desire to make a difference.

Making a Difference On Purpose! There is nothing greater than being able to share your message of hope and encouragement to others.

We had the opportunity to kick-off the first American Cancer Society's Relay for Life for S.E. Wisconsin in March with our message of "Never Giving Up"  and Keep Living and Enjoying Your Gift of Life. Now April 19, 2013 we get to share with other Cancer Survivors and Relay for Life folks in Green Bay, Wisconsin for their event.

Larry on Fighting Back...

Fighting Back. Never Giving up. When cancer comes a knocking, you suit up for battle, gather your team, your  "Cancer-Fighting Team" at home, as well as work and your Physician Fighting Cancer Team. Know you're ready to fight back.

Everyone has astory, my story. A 3 year "Cancer- Fighting Speacialist" winning my battle daily, and a  305 day (as I write) "Cancer- Fighting Caregiver" to my best friend, wife and buisness partner, Debbie. Together we fight again! As we shared in our first book; It's not about cancer, it's about you; six reasons to keep living and enjoying your gift of life, attitude is everything, never give-up and most important, conquer your dreams.

If cancer is in your life in any way, you or someone you know or love, suit up for them and help them fight back. Through your encouragement, love, friendship and hope. Everyone needs someone, everybody can help somebody, and cancer can teach you about enjoying the gifts of life. Our mission is to offer hope and encouragement to everyone we meet!

Cancer isn't the end, it can be the new beginning, it will change you, but it's how you choose to look at the change that makes the difference. Take on the thinking; cancer may have me, but I don't have cancer, and I'm going to fight back hard and strong, with all my power, faith, love and hope. This is the attitude I hope for my readers, fighting back is okay and change is okay!

Larry offers inspirational and motivational keynotes, on overcoming obstacles and living you best life to your greatest potential. Larry shares his story with cancer at ACS Relay for Life events at no charge. Sticking to his purpose and mission, to offer hope and encouragement to everyone he meets.

Larry on, Someone's Passenger in Life!

Have you ever experienced that special time when you realize your purpose in life is to be someones passenger?

Let's define "passenger"; you're riding along in the passenger seat of someoné else's life situation. This someone could be a loved one, spouse, child, friend or co-worker. There you are and you realize that you're in the seat, your purpose is to just ride along, offer encouragement, inspiration, or just a shoulder to lean on.

February 13, 2013 I found myself in that seat, after many visits to the Cancer Clinic with my best friend, wife and business partner Debbie, that "AHA" moment hit me head on. I realized that my purpose wasn't to drive, direct, talk, be the center of attention, no, it was just to be Debbie's passenger in life, along her Cancer journey. The date was her pre-surgery visit, surgery number two, in that split second I came to the realization of my purpose that day, just to be her passenger. The passenger, rides along, listens, shares, but also realizes that they aren't the driver, they are the friend, the ride-along, the encourager.

That day I realized again, that Cancer teaches us much about life, love and giving. It also has taught me about purpose, living in the now, and that ones purpose maybe lived in the monet of a situation, and event in life. Have you ever found yourself in the passenger seat in someone else's life? Where your purpose was to just ride along and offer hope and encouragement? If so enjoy the moment and understand that your life purpose is playing out right in front of your eyes!

                      
Debbie, Pre-Surgery Day. Me, I'm just the Passenger in Her Life Today, My Purpose to be the Caregiver, the One offering Encouragement and Hope!

We all can be someones passenger in life, everyone needs someone!

Larry on Purposeful Meetings that Change Your Life

Have you ever had one of those "chance" meetings that changed your life? I have, and call this a "Purposeful" meetings now, and allow me to share why. I don't want to think of things that change the direction of my life as "chance" I would rather take the attitude that these meetings are "Purposeful" we just may not know at the time.

In my short video I share a piece from my book; It's not about cancer, it's about you; six reasons to keep living and enjoying your gift of life, about a meeting I had with a friend and a colleague by the name of Robert. What was suppose to be about a meeting of my next step into the roll as President of our National Speakers Association of Wisconsin, this "Purposeful" meeting changed the direction of my life by helping to direct me to my "Cancer-Fighting Team" at UW Madsion. Just so happen that his wife worked for the Head & Neck Surgeron at UWM for 14 years and I had this big tumor growing on the side of my neck. After many visits at other clinic's and hospitals that left me confused and lost, what was to be a professional meeting turn into the "Purposeful" meeting of my life!

That meeting helped me discover the team that I needed to fight my cancer. Have you ever had one of those "Purposeful"meetings that changed your life? Sometimes it doesn't happen that fast, but you never know. So as your journey moves forward think of every meeting as a "Purposeful" meeting meant to encourage, inspire and help someone you may know along their journey in life, cancer or no cancer.

 

My mission is to offer hope and encouragement to everyone I meet! Larry offers inspirational and motivational Keynotes to help inspire your people at your event to live their life to their fullest potential. Discover how you can invite Larry to your next event or conference.

As two Cancer-Fighting Specialist on a journey to share what cancer has taught us through our books and inspirational and motivational keynotes.

    We all have a race to run in life, make it you best at all that you do! 

The Faith Department....When you need it most!

How many of my readers have visited their "Faith Department"? I believe we all have one and need one sometime in our life. After 53+ years of loving my life and all that life has to offer both bad and good, I've learned that what we need most waits us. Sometimes we just get all tied up in what's going on, hanging out a little to long at the "pity party", or "poor me" room that we lose focus on what we need the most in our darkest days, like the following:

• Love
• Hope
• Self-esteem
• Self-worth
• God
• Family
• Friends
• Direction
• Faith

With Debbie's cancer treatments and team, we ended up at the "Faith Department" at the Cancer Clinic, the one thing that Debbie may have needed the most, FAITH!

Faith and Hope, two ingredients that help us along in life, help us reach our potential, fight our battles and in my case and Debbie's, win over our cancer. I read once that God will only send your way what He knows you can handle, and in Debbie's cancer battle it just so happened to be Faith and Hope. See for yourself!

           

On this wonderful day of December 4, 2012 I called this day "Good News" day, scan results after 10 months of cancer treatment, look good! Faith and Hope, Never give-up, no matter what life brings your way!

My best friend, wife, and business partner Debbie found her "Faith Department" just when she needed in the most! Have hope and find faith my friends and enjoy your gift of life!

Larry on Your Best Days...

Yes your "Best Days" are in front of you, they are waiting for you, it's going to be GREAT!

As a cancer survivor and a cancer caregiver, I can tell you that your best days are in front of you, because what's happened is in the past, it's behind you! We can only go back in our mind, feelings and thoughts, what's in front of you is going to be much better. As a 42 month cancer survivor and a 182 day cancer caregiver to by best friend, wife and business partner (Debbie) we know about not living in the past. All those radiation treatments, chemotherapy sessions, surgeries are ALL behind us, we know our best days are in front of us, it can only get better. This has got be our attitude, it doesn't pay to stay in the treatments, it doesn't pay to have a "poor me" mindset, no, life doesn't get better living in the past.

Sure we are realistic people, yes the cancer could come back, but we're not living our life that way, no we're living our life to our greatest potential. No matter what you're facing in life, whether cancer, loss of loved one, loss of job, no matter what, you do have a choice, and that choice is to believe that your best day's are yet to come. it's just a choice.

Here's what we've found; "Nothing happens to me; it happens for me"

We are not defined by our past, we are prepared by our past, for our best day's to come!

We hope through these 2012 Holidays, that our readers will discover the power within, to get living and enjoying your gift of life. We hope that you enjoy your family and friends like you've never done before. We hope that no matter the size of your mountain that you maybe facing, believe that your God is BIGGER and GREATER!

Never Give-Up!

We believe that our book: It's not about cancer, it's about you, can help to encourage you or someone you know facing a tough time in life. Our book is about what cancer taught me about facing my giant in life (cancer) and moving forward, knowing my best days are in front of me!

Running Your Race...

Hello my name is Larry, and I am a 3.5 year Head & Neck Cancer Survivor and a 150 day Cancer Caregiver to Debbie my best friend, wife, business partner and co-author of our next book coming out in Spring 2013 so stay tuned!

Are you running your race in life? Well, we are and we are enjoying the journey, even though cancer as become a common denominator in our life, it's not slowing us down from conquering our dreams and enjoying our gift of life. This is what cancer taught me and as we shared in our first book; It's not about cancer, it's about you. We've found that it's okay to run our race as long as we don't leave each other behind and those that we love. The race is about enjoying the journey, running together, facing our giants in life together. The race of life is moving 24/7, 365, like the wind blowing and the seasons in life that come and go. The key to happiness is to accept the race, never run it alone if you can, and to enjoy each day to your greatest potential.

                                       Get ready, get set, let's go!

"CHEMO" Day....it is what it is!

Hello my name is Larry also know as The Cancer-Fighting Specialist, 42 month cancer survivor, today a 111 day cancer caregiver to my best friend, wife, business partner and love of my life-Debbie. Daily we understand the meaning of burning bridges, crossing bridges and building new bridges, something that cancer is teaching us daily. Allow me to share a few bullets with you.

• Burning Bridges; after each completed treatment, surgery, medication we hope through faith and luck this stage of fighting cancer is a bridge we burn.
• Crossing Bridges; chemo day, radiation treatments, surgery, fear, guilt, these are bridges we cross over to victory in our life.
• Building Bridges; this is the growth that we gain through our daily victories, the new relationships that build, hope for tomorrow, encouragement to others through our experiences, these are bridges we build for a better tomorrow.

"CHEMO" Day, the bag....this is a bridge we are currently crossing that in time will be a bridge we burn, a victory, a story, another chapter in our life, an experience to share and offer hope and encouragement to others.

                  

Sincerely,

The Cancer-Fighting Specialist Team, Larry and Debbie
