A message from Kenny:“Aloha! My name is Kenneth Brimer. In August, I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia at age 36. It’s a devastating thing that could happen to anyone…for myself, there is no doubt in my mind that I can kick this…through faith, all things are possible. I want to make it through this and be an example for others in similar situations. It is important to have a positive outlook in life and to surround yourself with good people. It’s the only way you could mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually survive. I’m a hopeful candidate for a bone marrow transplant, being placed on the bone marrow registry soon.
I’ve been through two doses of chemo….chances are strong…my body is fighting the leukemia pretty good. There’s no way I’m going to let this illness take away my dreams and livelihood. It also takes the help and support of others to help me get through this. I’ve lived in Hawaii most of my life. I’ve been skateboarding most of my life. It’s how I love to live life-being active and living free. I plan to keep on living and skateboarding in Hawaii for the next 36 years, AND MORE! Mahalo Nui Loa! Kenny”
