Ralph

My husband Ralph was diagnosed with a GBM in March of 2013. In August 2014 after a second resection left him with partial right side paralysis we moved to Baltimore and were fortunate to meet Beth Fisher and other members of the Keep Punching Board.

As Ralph’s tumor progressed and the paralysis increased we were the lucky recipients of a lift chair donated by keep punching for Ralph’s benefit. Having the chair enabled Ralph to join me and our three children in the living room on many days when he was weak, and for several weeks at the end of our time with him when he could no longer support himself or move easily from sitting to standing and laying down to sitting.

Thank you to Beth and the Foundation for giving us the gift of the chair and the family time we had together before Ralph died. We still have the chair and the kids take comfort in having something to sit and play in where Ralph spent so much time at the end of his battle.
