Darryl Pendergrass
I am an IT project manager and software engineer by trade. I am a people helper by nature. I was the primary family caregiver for four years during my wife's battle with glioblastoma - stage 4 brain cancer. My first book is in progress. Called Suddenly a Caregiver, I share the story of Lynne's courage during her fight and the caregiving experience and the lessons learned along the journey. I hope that sharing this will help someone else with that responsibility should they face a similar situation.
