kidney cancer, in 2008, one month before her fourth birthday. The disease was very aggressive and took her life one year later. The book sells for $12.99, but most buyers pay slightly more to donate to the charity. “They tell me to keep the change, donate the rest of the charity. We’ve probably made more money in the donations than book sales, which is the whole point.” Dr. Deweese’s interest in writing started in college, when he took several creative writing classes. He wrote the book because he wanted to share something that could make the world a better place, channeling his passion into something to help others. Deweese was good enough to play golf as a walk-on freshman at Butler University, but quickly realized that studies were more important than golf, if he wanted to attend IU’s Medical School. Dr. Deweese and his family reside in Newburgh, Indiana and he is a member of the Dormie Network Clubs at Victoria National, in Southern Indiana and Briggs Ranch, in San Antonio, Texas. “Where Rainbows Never Die” can be purchased on Amazon. All monies raised from the sale of the book go to fund pediatric cancer research through the Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment. Follow Dr. Deweese on Twitter @deweeseryan.
