Summary

Episode 2328 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino welcome George Kolasa and Justin Tarquinio to discuss cancer, George's glioblastoma journey, Cycle for Survival, and turning pain into purpose, and much more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/05/pain-into-purpose-episode-2328 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN PAIN INTO PURPOSE Vinnie and Anna start the show talking about cancer and Vinnie's battle with a rare form of leukemia. (2:00) Gina Grad's dad passed away from the same form of leukemia, and he had always lived a healthy lifestyle. Anna asks Vinnie to share more details about his journey. Vinnie has been cancer free for 16 years; his leukemia is a form that usually returns within 5 years. Vinnie and Anna bring on family members George Kolasa and Justin Tarquinio. (26:30) George and Justin are partners and are here to share their story. George was diagnosed about a year ago with glioblastoma, a rare type of brain tumor. Doctors discovered a tumor the size of a grapefruit; however, George had few signs or symptoms. More tumors have developed, but these are inoperable. Justin shares some of his thoughts of guilt; he believed he should have noticed certain signs earlier. He emphasizes that he doesn't want to make people paranoid, but if you notice something very "off", go get scanned! Anna asks George about his approach to his diagnosis, and how he decided to handle it. George shares his inspirational approach and thoughts concerning his diagnosis. It allows him to live with more dignity and turns pain into purpose! CYCLE FOR SURVIVAL George and Justin have created a fundraising Team under Cycle for Survival. (59:30) They have a goal of raising one million dollars and ALL FUNDS go directly to research! Please consider donating to George's team at www.cycleforsurvival.org. All rare forms of cancers make up approximately 50 percent of all cancers. George is getting treated through Memorial Sloan Kettering; you can read more about them at www.mskcc.org. He also shares information on other treatments to control the tumors. You can follow George on Instagram at @gkolasa and Justin at @jtarq where they share inspiring content for others.
