Greg's Legacy of Resilience and Giving
Greg’s bond with the San Juan Medical Foundation began with a story that deeply resonated within his family. Years ago, his cousin’s father had battled cancer and found hope and support through the Riley Men’s Health Fund. This experience left a lasting imprint on Greg, but little did he know that one day, he too would lean on this very same lifeline.
Faced with kidney disease, cancer, and tumors over two incredibly challenging years, Greg found himself in the midst of a health crisis that no one is ever fully prepared for. During this time, the Riley Men’s Health Fund became more than just a source of financial support—it was a beacon of stability and hope. Thanks to the Fund, Greg was able to focus on his recovery without the added weight of financial stress, knowing that someone cared for his well-being. This compassionate support not only eased his struggles but also instilled in him a profound sense of gratitude for the community behind the Foundation.
Moved by the generosity he had received, Greg sought a way to give back, despite his own tough circumstances. He began dedicating his time as a volunteer at the Connelly Hospitality House, where he found a renewed sense of purpose. Helping others brought him joy, a reprieve from his personal trials, and strengthened his commitment to the values of compassion and unity. Over time, Greg's unwavering dedication touched countless people, bringing comfort and encouragement to those confronting their own challenges.
Though Greg passed away in January, his story endures as a powerful reminder of what resilience, kindness, and community support can achieve. His dedication to championing the Riley Men’s Health Fund and his compassionate volunteer work at the Connelly Hospitality House left an indelible mark on the San Juan Medical Foundation and the lives it serves.
