Pete – Keep Punching

Pete is the definition of a kind hearted, humble, and genuine person, keeping those he loved close to his heart, as his most sacred and protected possessions. This did not change when he was diagnosed with anaplastic astrocytoma in 2014. He was more concerned with everyone around him, the effects this would have and their response, than the battle he would fight over the next 4 ½ years.

As my uncle Kerry has said humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking about yourself less, and that’s exactly what Pete and Keep Punching have in common. Keep Punching is an organization that cares more about others as an initiative than anything else. It helped Pete and our family find a support and community we did not expect to find only weeks after the life shattering news of his diagnosis.

It is an organization that the For Pete’s Sake team will continue to be grateful for, provide aid to, and always stand with. Most of all, we will keep punching and fighting against brain cancer and supporting the fighters and their families until one day, a cure is found. In loving memory of my real life super hero, my brother. We fight for you, we fight for Pete’s Sake.”
