Joe Mottlow and Will Huffman have shared a lot of life together since their first meeting at TruGreen. 

But on June 15th, 5 years ago, Joe got his first indication that something was wrong. 

He kept waking up in puddles of sweat. 

After days of toughing this out, he made a trip to Fairview to discover things were not right. His bloodwork was off, and his spleen was the size of two fists. 

Then the diagnosis. Leukemia ALL, a blood cancer. 

The battle begins and Joe Joe Tough was born. 

The chemo shed 30 pounds over a two week period. 

But even during the intense chemotherapy treatments, he still found a way to have fun during his stay. That's Joe's nature, to make the most out of any situation. 

Over the last 5 years, he's battled and beat cancer not once, not twice, but five times. 

This episode is about resiliency, optimism, and how a community continues to help Joe Mottlow win his battle against cancer.
