Corona – In early November 2013, my husband, George Casiano, Jr., was diagnosed with stage III Hodgkin’s Lymphoma – just a few months after our wedding.

George underwent chemotherapy treatment every two weeks for six months.  His last treatment was on Good Friday, Apr. 18, 2014, and he has been blessedly cancer free for one year.

George participated in the Relay for Life for the first time when his band, The Pulse, played there.  The following year, he was able to participate as a cancer survivor, walking the Survivor Lap.

When George was first diagnosed, he wrote a song called, “I want to understand,” to help come to terms with what he was going through.  At the 2014 Relay for Life, the band played that song, and George was able to speak about his journey.

At this year’s Relay for Life, George will once again share the story of his fight against cancer in an effort to give hope to others.  The band – now called “Our Found Freedom” – will perform at the event.

Our Found Freedom has seen many changes over the last seven  years.  They recently changed their name to reflect their mission of the true freedom that is found in Christ.  The alternative Christian rock band desires to spread the love of Christ, share the word of God, and be an encouragement to people.

Come and join Our Found Freedom at the Corona Relay for Life, on Sat., May 16, at Santana Park (598 Santana Way, Corona 92881) at 5 p.m.  You can also listen to the band at Facebook.com/OurFoundFreedom, or Soundcloud.com/OurFoundFreedom.
