Bob's Journey to Keep Pushin'

My name is Bob Desautels. On December 11 of 2021 I was a healthy father of three with everything going well in my world. I loved golfing, football, jogging, and playing basketball. My only struggle at that time was that I was suffering from what I thought were side effects from a new medication that I was taking. This medication’s side effects include dizziness, loss of balance, headaches, and overall fatigue, all of which I was experiencing. As I was closing up my office for the day on December 11th my body gave out on me and I fell to the floor. I was alone in my office. I was having a seizure and wasn’t sure why. Just a few hours later I discovered the reason why. I was informed that I have a rare and incurable Brain tumor called a glioblastoma multiforme. It is a very aggressive type of brain cancer. I was admitted to surgery the next morning where they removed 93% of the tumor. While that sounds very promising, the remaining 7% has one job, to feed and grow. Even after radiation and Chemotherapy treatment that is exactly what it did, it grew. So as I sit here now, just nine months later, I am in the process of a clinical trial to help slow this cancer down. The trial is at Dana-Farber Institute in Boston. It has been a very difficult nine months to say the least, something I feel no one should ever have to go through. Every day is different; energy levels are different, anxiety levels are different, and everyday is a challenge. I must “ keep pushin” everyday.
It’s time to find a cure! I created this event for the sole purpose of raising money to put an end to brain cancer once and for all. This event is designed to help fund Dana-Farber‘s research specifically into brain cancer and tumors. Your participation and contributions are so important and valuable to me and so many people that share this diagnosis. I want to show my children that everyone can make a difference! I thank you for your participation and let’s hope that our efforts together can play an important role in ending brain cancer.
The name Keep Pushin comes from a song by my favorite band, REO Speedwagon. After my first surgery that song played on my playlist. I knew immediately it was going to be my anthem for this fight and it needed to be my purpose and inspiration… “ Even if you think your strength is gone, keep pushin’ on.”
So let’s keep pushin’ to end brain cancer!
I want to personally welcome you to the 1st Annual Keep Pushin’ Golf Tournament. We’re glad your apart of this legacy we are creating!
