A person stands in a lobby area wearing a blue “Run and Gun” T‑shirt and holding a mask in one hand. The simple indoor setting and casual stance make the image suitable for stories or campaigns related to blood cancer awareness and personal resilience.

My brother Randall in Ohio passed away last night from pneumonia after a courageous and miraculous battle of surviving adult leukemia for five years. His knowledge of nutrition and health really helped him, even when doctors weren’t sure what else to do. He was making plans to try to relocate and go live with our mom, but like with many patients, the pneumonia took over. He had just turned 59 last month. He lived these past five years with our oldest brother, Les. They were extremely close, and Les was there to help him with the doctor appointments and the hospital. Randall was one of five siblings and was the first to pass. Love you, Randall.
