Who We are

Brad’s Story
Gone, Never Forgotten.

Brad Giestling proudly served his country in the Army's 101st Airborne Division, including a tour of duty in Iraq. On May 13th, 2013, Brad was diagnosed with liposarcoma – a rare soft tissue cancer. He approached this battle like a soldier – with courage, enthusiasm, and dignity.

Throughout the next three and a half years, Brad’s unrelenting treatment schedule included 70 rounds of chemo, 30 rounds of radiation, and six major operations. Though his body surrendered on October 22nd, 2016, his legacy lives on through his family and the lives impacted by Brad’s Blessings.
