    In 2017, Chris was given a year to live.
    Dillon dropped out of college and asked the world to help him spend that last year experiencing their bucket list.
    After our community helped us cross off 50+ bucket list items…we broke the world record for the most bone marrow donor signups in one day.
    One of the people who signed up ended up being a donor for Chris: his cancer is gone.

    17 months ago life was normal for me, a month later I had congestive heart failure, working a good job, living an ok life, at age 56 everything came to a screeching halt. I had no warning. Now with a pig valve, they give me another 15 years, so I know where Chris is coming from. A dead piece of pork is keeping me alive, no written warranties, just an estimate, one day at a time. God Bless you Chris!

      mr bad example I'm sorry to hear that sir. But don't be scared, my dad has congestive heart failure and has had it for gosh idk 20 years maybe. He had to have a defibrillator implant, he's on his third. But last check up the Dr said that through medication and diet change, his heart has healed considerably. To the point that the Dr said he could get his defibrillator removed if he wanted to. Oh and he's 62, so it's not a death sentence, And just think how much progress medical technology makes every year.
      But yeah wanted to share that, and I hope things work out for you.

      @ExceptionallyUndersizedThanos 4 роки тому +19

      ​@@Hoodooboiiii He DOES have an Insta, but he hasn't used it since late 2019... consider the following:
      Christopher was diagnosed with a very slowly progressing form of leukemia known as chronic myeloid (CML). It's often fatal far before it reaches late stages, meaning that unlike a lot of your more common cancers it's a killer on its own. Cancer is notorious for spreading, but CML takes its sweet time. With (as far as I know) no further diagnoses on the table, receiving a bone marrow transplant from someone would be curative. This happened due to the organization Dillon set up for him.
      While contact has been very limited since all of this, everything was looking very positive for Mr. Betancourt here. So all things considered, you're better off assuming he's alive and well than otherwise. This is all going with assumption, though, as I was never able to scoop anything from 2020 up.
      Here's his Insta tho: instagram.com/guy_named_chris/

I hope he lives his life to the fullest. I hope somehow overcomes it. I've lost family members to leukemia, so I hope he does all he can to be happy. Godspeed Chris.

    Matt is such a great person. Honestly I almost cried watching this video because I see someone so humble even in the face of what he has. I'm not sure if I would have that same strength.. I don't think I would. Amazing video.

    this video actually brought me tears witch i didn't have in a loooong time. For starters the positive vibe from Chris. Us healthy people complain about everything in our lives, and he just lives by the day because he might die soon. Can't imagine how that must feel. So much respect for this guy!

If somehow he sees this I just want to say I’ll keep him in my prayers and that he has inspired me to look in to donating bone marrow.

      @braxtonamour 6 років тому +1

      Darren Schmidt .... You must work for Kimber or something. That’s one thing they’ve always had going for them was marketing. The Kimber’s of the 2000’s are malfunction clearance training devices, and turn into rust buckets between range sessions. If yours works, great. I’m happy that your gun serves you well. However, Kimber and their switch to low quality stainless steel and poorly executed MIM internals is churning out junk nowadays. I encourage you not to buy another one.

    I'm dying also but my body is failing apart on top of it. In March I have to have all my teeth removed. I have a bucket list but I'm really to poor to do any of it. I know it's a sob story but that's my whole life. It sucks being this ill and having zero funds. I really hate having to explain because it sounds like I'm trying to get stuff but honestly that's my life. I have Kyphoscoliosis Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or kEDS. I'm one 60 reported cases in the world of the Kyphoscoliosis part and the EDS part has a 52% suicide rate also there is no cure just treating the symptoms. I've had about 30 orthopedic surgeries and 15 non ortho surgeries. I am blessed with a wonderful beautiful wife and 2 incredible kids. One kid is 18 and the other is 13. I've been trying to get a gun so my son and I can learn gun safety but we are very low income. I wish there was a make a wish for adults but oh well. I'm throwing this out there because we're in debt for medical bills and debt other ways. We live in a habitat for humanity which is such a huge blessing. If nothing happens I'm good I just live in bed and a recliner seriously just waiting to die. I wish I could do more with my family but my body and lack of funds won't let me. That was awesome what you did for him and me being so sick could really see the joy in that young man. I will pray for him. If you made it this far thank you for reading it, I really appreciate what you did for him and making awareness of the need to donate bone marrow. God Bless and Godspeed.

      BloodnGutz43 if you want something that will give you a fighting chance to survive, go to a state that has medical cannabis and get your hands on some Rick Simpson Oil and you could end up putting your cancer into remission. Rick Simpson is a tremendous human being, he was exiled from Canada for bringing his cure to many many cancers to the Canadian Health Service and was kicked out of the building. You can listen to the patients that have used the oil talk about being cured. Look into it if you want a real fighting chance at surviving. The fact that more people don't know about this is just inhumane if you ask me, countless lives have been lost to cancer because of greed. It's really wrong that they aren't prescribing the oil to patients as they are doing chemotherapy because is combats all the symptoms chemo gives you, and help metastasize the cancer. The worst thing that will happen is it will get you stoned a little bit and it doesn't end up metastasizing the cancer, that's the worst thing that could happen, but the odds are high for metastasizing the cancer with Rick Simpsons Oil, and changing your diet to a very nutrient rich diet and cutting refined sugars and your chance of beating it are really high, especially if you catch it early. Best of luck man
