{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Make A Difference Minute: Rising Through Courage","description":"On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Ron Adams, founder and president of the Rising Courage Foundation, as he shares how his own cancer journey inspired a mission to encourage others facing one of life’s toughest battles.\n\nRon was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2014 and underwent surgery before entering active surveillance. Eight years later, he heard those life-changing words once again: “You have cancer.”\nAs he sat through chemotherapy treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic, visitors weren’t allowed. Day after day, he spent hours in the treatment chair with only nurses, doctors, and other patients who were facing similar fears and uncertainties. It was during those quiet moments that Ron realized how desperately people battling cancer need hope and encouragement.\n\nHe made a promise that if he made it through, he would use his own pain to help others.\nThat promise became the Rising Courage Foundation, whose Courage Kits are designed to bring comfort, encouragement, and practical support to individuals undergoing cancer treatment, reminding them they are not alone in the fight.\n\nTo learn more or support this mission, visit RisingCourageFoundation.org.\n\nThe full interview will air at 9p CST/10p EST tonight.\n\nThis MADM is brought to you by Bama Estate Planning by Attorney Harlan D. Mitchell, proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong.\n\nReal stories.\nReal people.\nReal impact.\nNews That Unites!™️","author_name":"The Mark White Show","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5024444-the-mark-white-show","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43761397/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
