Our Stories
My AML Story…
by Timothy Moran,
Founder of Campers for Cancer
At 50 years old, I began to notice strange physical changes — lightheadedness, bumps on my skin, bleeding gums, and shortness of breath. My doctor sent me to urgent care, where I was given antibiotics and sent home.
Two weeks later, the symptoms worsened. At the ER, doctors discovered all my blood counts were at critical levels and immediately began transfusions. The next day, a doctor told me she suspected acute myeloid leukemia (AML) — but not to “freak out” when I looked it up.
When I saw the survival rate online, I was terrified. My life changed in that moment.
My Caregiver Story…
by Anne Marie
When my husband Timothy was diagnosed with AML, we had to leave our full-time RV life behind and relocate to Tampa for the lifesaving treatment he needed at Moffitt Cancer Center.
Like many Florida families traveling from hours away, we spent months juggling hospital stays, temporary housing, and even the loss of our RV home during a hurricane.
Our experience showed us how vital it is for patients and caregivers to have a stable, affordable place to stay near treatment. That’s why we helped create Campers for Cancer: to provide free RV campsites close to care, far from stress — giving families a safe place to rest and heal during the hardest moments of their lives
