Volunteer Spotlight: Rich Chandler, ASK dad

It’s 4am, and Rich Chandler is busy setting-up orange street cones for the next ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation race. He’s led the logistics for the ASK 5K & Fun Walk and ASK Donut Run for the past fifteen years, and he doesn’t plan to stop any time soon.

“It’s important to me as a business owner and a human being to give back to our community and share our many blessings,” says Rich. “And we’ve been incredibly blessed.”

In 2000, Rich’s daughter, Kaitlyn, was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, typically an adult leukemia. At age three, Kaitlyn’s only chance of survival was a bone marrow transplant. Rich considers it a miracle that a donor was found in Germany, a military officer who flew back to the United States to provide Kaitlyn the bone marrow she needed to survive.

Now a senior at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Engineering, Kaitlyn is healthy and looking forward to life after graduation in May, 2020, and Rich’s commitment to ASK is even stronger.

“We became involved with ASK because of Kaitlyn’s diagnosis. ASK was there for us every moment of Kaitlyn’s diagnosis and treatment, and I want everyone to know what an incredible team ASK becomes with every family diagnosed with childhood cancer.”

Rich says he’s a lifelong ASK volunteer, “I want to help spread the contagious positive energy that comes from the ASK administrators, clinicians and volunteers!"

You can see Rich's dedication and team spirit at this year's ASK 5K & Fun Walk which is celebrating 15 years! For ASK parents like Rich, it's so much more than just a walk. Learn more at ASKwalk.org.

DR. JOROMI IS TRULY A POWERFUL MAN. Contacting Dr Joromi is the best thing that has ever happened to me. My husband left me for another woman for the reason which i know nothing about. I tried every means to get him back but to no avail, all my efforts proved abortive. I was even contemplating suicide. On a lucky day when i was browsing the internet, i came across some amazing testimonies about Dr. Joromi on how he has helped a lot of people with his powerful love spells. I contacted him and explained all my problems to him and he assured me that he will help me. He told me what to do and assured me that my man will be back in 12 hours. I obeyed him and followed the instructions and to my Greatest surprise, my man called me in 12 hours time just as Dr. Joromi said. Thank you Dr Joromi. May the good God continue to bless you. If you are in need of help please contact Dr Joromi now on his website: https://www.joromispells.com and you can also reach him with his email: Joromispells@gmail.com and here is his WhatsApp number which you can also use to reach him +2348138695387 Thank you Dr Joromi. Thank you once again
