I’ve written about my late husband, Ken, many times here. In fact, writing about him and our experience together with his cancer was a coping mechanism that served me well since his re-diagnosis in 2009, though his illness and death in 2011, and still does upon occasion to this very day. 💔✍️
This September 21, he would have turned 60. 🎂💜 I want to commemorate the date with the digital premiere and fundraiser of the acclaimed one-man show he wrote and starred in back in 2002, called “My Foot Left.”🎭
It’s a candid look at his journey with cancer as a teen through adulthood. Both poignant and humorous — just like he was — it tells the story of how a young man comes to terms with a life-changing amputation of his leg and how his light wouldn’t be dimmed. 💡🦿✨
I was thrilled (and terrified 😅) to be a part of the production, running the sound and lights. 🎚️🎙️ It’s an experience I treasure. So many of our friends came together to put this show together. It was the definition of “a labor of love,” much like this digital premiere. ❤️🎬
🗓 I’m planning the YouTube premiere for his birthday: Sunday, September 21 @ 6 pm (Central).
A donation to the American Cancer Society 🎗️ in any amount will grant you access to the premiere. Every dollar supports research, care, and hope. Donate here.
Share this page with your network to get them involved. 📲💬 Plan a watch party! I'll be in the live chat sharing tidbits from that momentous performance. (I can't wait!)
I’m writing a memoir about our journey together. 📖 More to come on that — and on the fundraiser — in August as we build up to the premiere! 🎉
Thank you to those who have already so generously contributed. I'm so excited to share this with you!
