My Fellow Photographer and dear friend who has shared more Life advice with me than many others is fighting cancer. David Grupa is one amazing fellow, I know how much he’s impacted my life since we met in 2004 and I know many many other professional photographers would say the same. He gives endless to charitable organizations and works tirelessly to make everyone’s life more worth living for. He is humble and kind and someone I thank God for more then he knows. Take a moment to google David Grupa and see the many ways he has made an impact. My next fundraiser (details coming soon) will be to benefit David & his medical expenses, until then here is how you can help.

Cancer sucks!
In January of 2011, David Grupa was diagnosed with cancer. Surgery was performed in February with the hopes that no further treatment would be needed. Unfortunately, subsequent scans showed some cancer was still present. Eventually a treatment plan was set and weeks of radiation began. Currently David is feeling well and awaiting the next scan.
While the events of the past 6 months can be summed up into a couple of sentences, the emotional and financial toll is not as easy to detail.
David’s friends can’t fight his cancer for him, but they have organized a benefit to help offset the overwhelming financial burden that comes with medical procedures.
