FRIENDS

For the past ten years, Dr. Douglas Jackson, Dr. David Grisell, and Dr. Nanialei Golden of Florida Oncology, PA, have been the major sponsors of our Run for the Light 5K & 10K races.

With Dr. Jackson’s departure six years ago, Dr. Golden then joined Dr. Grisell.  However, with the recent dissolution of Florida Oncology, Dr. Golden has resigned her position and Dr. Grisell has relocated to the University of Cincinnati. 

During Dr. Grisell’s practice at Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, he had the opportunity to participate in several national clinical trials with the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) testing various treatments for different types of cancer.   As part of this effort, he received reimbursement for his work in those trials that is not reimbursed by insurers.  As a final goodwill gesture, Dr. Grisell demonstrated his belief in our organization by donating the remaining funds to The Candlelighters of Brevard, Inc. for which we have received a check in the amount of $11,323.11 to further our mission.

We will be forever grateful to Dr. Grisell, not only for his generous donation but also for his ten years of unending support of our children and their families.

Please join The Candlelighters in wishing Dr. Grisell and his family every success and happiness.
