David Venanzi
was diagnosed in 2/01, at the age of 41, with a fairly rare form
of cancer, Multiple Myeloma. Before the onset of symptoms in the
fall of 2000, Dave had been extremely healthy and phyically fit.
He jogged several times a week, was an avid scuba diver, and ate
a healthy pseudo-vegetarian (with seafood) diet. Here are some
photographs of Dave below, taken before and after his diagnosis.
This photo was
taken of Dave
in mid-August 2000. He was
feeling well then.
