"The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation is celebrating its’ 15th anniversary this year, with a focus on three key words: CRYSTAL / CLEAR / HOPE. In conjunction with the anniversary, I’m planning a 15,000 mile Journey of Hope; a road trip up, down and across the 48 contiguous United States. I intend to honor the memory of my daughter, Sarah, who passed away from cholangiocarcinoma in 2018. Sarah, would have loved to do this trip with me!"

By Dave Fleischer | Jun 29, 2021

Leaving Barstow, CA, my first scheduled meet up was about 250 miles away in Paso Robles, CA.

Journey of Hope: Day 38

By Dave Fleischer | Jun 26, 2021

I can now “check the box” for visits to towns named Hope, and also admit a blunder along the way.

Journey of Hope: Day 37

By Dave Fleischer | Jun 25, 2021

It’s amazing what you can see and learn, on a single day, as part of a 40-day journey up, down, and across the country.

Journey of Hope: Day 36

By Dave Fleischer | Jun 24, 2021

By Dave Fleischer | Jun 23, 2021

This afternoon I had the opportunity to meet up with Tina Andera and Mindy Cooper (Warriors) at the Welcome Center in Cheyenne, WY.

Journey of Hope: Day 34

By Dave Fleischer | Jun 22, 2021
