5 For 5 Football Journey

At the end of August, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with Uveal Melanoma, eye cancer. 2 weeks ago I didn't even know you could get cancer in your eye and now at 29, I will soon start radiation treatment to kill the tumor in my eye. I wanted to just tell everyone what was going on as well as layout what the future plan is for treatment. If you are struggling remember that you are not alone, stay in the fight, and control what you can control then trust God with the rest. 

If you want to keep up with this fight through cancer I am making a website called fearintofuel.org where I will document as much as I can as I could not find that much initially. I will also put up videos on Fear Into Fuel YouTube channel. 

Love you all, thank you for your prayers and support! We will get through this together!

Trey Booker Mays and Charleston CJ Girley both are from Pine Bluff and walked on in 2011 and played from 2011-2015. Booker is the infamous "Fainting Goat" from the 2014 Miami game and CJ Girley was liable to lay someone out any play he was in.
