We continue the second season of VPR POP Talk with Tim Grimes #skincancer # #. Tim was 28 years old when he received the diagnosis of stage 4 melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. Tim’s prognosis was dire, with only 12-14 months to live. He reached out to his personal network for support and was embraced by his community AND the KC Royals. With their support and the support of a world-class medical team and treatments, Tim is in remission… 6 years later! Take a few minutes to listen to Tim’s story. His fantastic attitude, suggestions for living through a worst case scenario, and perspective on how life changes after beating the odds are inspiring

About us
VPR Patient Outreach Program (VPR POP) is an offshoot of VPR Creative Group , a company that has devoted three decades to sharing the stories of those who know illnesses and diseases better than anyone – the people who live with them every day. VPR POP specializes in developing and scheduling peer-to-peer healthcare education programs; providing customized training programs for peer educators; creating tools to enhance peer interaction; marketing peer-to-peer programs to healthcare providers and their patients; and coordinating the research and data analysis of the powerful impact of these programs. VPR POP combines its extensive knowledge of the disease state with the unique perspective that comes only from those people living with – thriving with – adversities. Our mission is to facilitate that “pop”… that “spark” that comes when one peer makes a connection with another and a new story of hope and inspiration is born.
