"F*ck cancer," says DJ Stewart , a 33-year-old skateboarder from Kansas City, who some five years ago was given 18 months to live. Now, he is living a normal life, and even better, he's become an inspiration and hope for people dealing with the same or similar horrifying cancer diagnosis. In 2018, DJ Stewart was first diagnosed with leg cancer, then within a year he was confirmed to have a stage IV glioblastoma, the most aggressive and deadliest brain tumor.
During his medical treatment, which included chemotherapy, two craniotomies, radiation and the Gamma Knife procedure, he turned to several alternatives which included cannabis, exercise, and last, but not least – a positive attitude. Now, this brain cancer survivor is also a cannabis advocate who has dedicated his life to helping others. He partnered with marijuana-focused lifestyle brand, Timeless on Shred for the Cure's second campaign, which raises money for Head for the Cure , a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness and funding in the battle against brain cancer.
Last year, an inaugural campaign in Missouri managed to raise $13,000, and this year it is hoping to raise $50,000 across six markets – Arizona, California, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio and Oklahoma. For the second campaign, Timeless also teamed up with Kansas City artist John F. Malta, who designed the flip case and battery combo.
All sales profits from these specially crafted products are donated to Head for the Cure. Benzinga wa.
