DeTar Community Healthcare, Ashley Furniture Homestore, McAdams Floral, KIXS 108 and Q 92 teamed up to recognize a breast cancer fighter and wanted to help  inspire, give hope and push forward to those battling the disease. This week we recognized Billy Reeder.

Brandy his daughter submitted his name and here is what he told us about Billy. Billy is my dad. He had the lump in his left breast removed 9/9/14. He then had chemo until Christmas Eve in 2014. He had his last round of radiation in April of 2015. It was weird for my dad to get breast cancer because he was one of the manliest men I know and that was with having three daughters. My dad is awesome. He never missed a day of work unless he had chemo that day and even then he would have chemo that afternoon and go to work before he had chemo that day. Even during radiation he coaches my sons little league team. He has never let any of it get him down, he had the best attitude.

Billy, you are an inspiration and a wonderful example of courage and perseverance. May the fullness of life be yours in the days ahead.

If you know someone who you would like us to know about please fill out the form below. We will recognize a listener every Friday.
