On July 2, 2023, the world became a whole lot dimmer. We lost a fantastic VTuber, an energetic dancer, and a wonderful cosplayer. I lost a loving wife, soulmate, and best friend. Within 9 months, my whole world was taken away by an aggressive childhood cancer called rhabdomysosarcoma. She is the reason I relay:
You may know her as Switt, Nao, or Sara. In any case, she touched the hearts and minds of all. Through the idol community, she helped develop what Starlight Idol Festival is today at Anime Weekend Atlanta. She started the group Danzoo->Dash with her closest friends and spread joy up and down the East Coast. And when we couldn't go outside anymore, she stayed with us live on Twitch, as the idiot older sister werewolf VTuber. Along the way, she supported many organizations and charities through volunteer work and fundraising. At home, she loved horses, whale sharks, sunflowers, Dolly Parton, anything lavendar-colored, all things Japan, and her cat, Mont. Despite all her care teams' coordinated efforts, both at UF Shands Childrens Hospital and at Atlanta Cancer Care, and 28 weeks of VAC chemotherapy completed, the cancer unexpectedly metastasized to her brain and cerebral spinal fluid. She passed away peacefully with loved ones by her side. Sara is why this cause is so important to me. Please help support the Swittx Sunflowers at the 2024 Atlanta Relay for Life. We a Gold Together team. That means your donation will go to research, treatments, and support, for those affected by childhood cancers, like the rhabdomyosarcoma took her away from us all too soon. |

Your support allows the American Cancer Society to continue:
Fighting cancer in city halls, statehouses, and Congress by elevating the patient voice to advance policy change through the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN)
Ensuring no one feels alone at any point on their cancer journey, from prevention to survivorship, and, for some, the end of life.
Investing in breakthrough science to find more - and better - treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve patients' quality of life.
Ensuring that all people have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive cancer. ACS and ACS CAN believe all people should have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from cancer regardless of how much money they make, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, gender identity, their disability status, or where they live.
Luminarias honor every life touched by cancer. You can dedicate them to a loved one lost, someone currently battling, or anyone who's overcome it.
Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

This isn’t what I wanted.
Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.
Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
