3/5/25 Good Stuff Thoughts in 3 minutes or less;)"Let us not tire of DOING GOOD" Galatians 6:9. Timmy Tusick and friend Pat Dunlap are doing just that. March 4, 2019. Timmy Tusick, a standout wrestler and super Good Stuff guy, diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at just 19-years-old. But almost a YEAR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE on July 2021 our Unconquerable Soul RANG THE BELL at University Hospitals in Cleveland. Here's my post from that day. Ok y’all!!!!THIS! Right HERE!!!These are #TheGoodStuff (GOD Stuff) moments I LIVE FOR! Our unconquerable soul Timmy Tusick RANG THE BELL TODAY! A day that was never guaranteed.The day he officially kicked cancer to the curb a year early. The day we all praise God for the GIFT that IS Timmy Tusick that is going to keep on givin’. At 21-years-old Timmy’s story for His glory is just beginning. The chapter that began with a cancer diagnosis started with Pat. She officially joined the Tim Strong Family today when we surprised Timmy with Pat and he placed his trademark wristband on her arm. Here’s their story. The diagnosis came like a sucker punch for this then 19-year-old, ridiculously fit wrestler from Padua Franciscan High School just starting his freshman year at Kent State University. Doctors said it didn’t look good. Some even wondered how Timmy was alive. He would spend weeks on end in the hospital. But from the beginning there was Pat. Pat is a cancer survivor herself. Timmy told us about her in an interview in March… when he was in the homestretch to cancer free. “One of the first days in there one of the workers at UH her name is Pat. I don’t know her last name. She used to come in and take my garbage out and she used to have cancer too. And she told me when she first got diagnosed...I have it vividly engraved in my memory...she said “I SMILED EVERY DAY WHEN I WOKE UP..JUST BECAUSE I WOKE UP and ya know what? The fact that i woke up? IM GOING TO SMILE NOW EVERYDAY. BECAUSE I HAD REASONS TO BE GRATEFUL AND BECAUSE I ***LOOKED FOR REASONS TO BE GRATEFUL*** I TOOK EVERY DAY AS A GIFT AND I MADE THE MOST OF IT.WE’RE GOING TO BEAT THIS...AND *****IT ALL STARTED WITH THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE." Today… just after Timmy rang the bell, it was a moment worth a million words when Timmy saw his inspiration personified friend again for the first time. Our Job. Our salary. Our rank. Tiny inconsequential details compared to our WORTH. To be the bright light who uplifts and encourages and inspires. In Pat’s case, fills a patient so full of hope it sets the trajectory from dismal diagnosis to triumphant bell ringer…. That’s a CALLING not just a career. Will we answer the call in micro moments of love to SEE The Good and BE The Good?“ Together We Can. Together We Will.
