PanCan Overland

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live” ~ Dumbledore It may not have been overlanding, but my family and I made memories that cannot ever be lost to this disease. I’ve been living with Pancreatic Cancer for officially 2 years. I surpassed my original diagnosis of 6 months, my subsequent diagnosis of 3-6 months upon determining it was out of remission, and now just fighting for another year or 10! Thank you to everyone who has supported me, my family, and my journey! #orlando #universalstudiosorlando #pancreaticcancer #pancreaticcancerpatient #livelikeyouredying #adventurethroughadversity #explore #getout #adventure #vacation #family #memories (at Harry Potter World, Universal Studios, FL.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtCFh_WBGhq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wq40gqxwairn

We’ve been on an adventure! Thank you to the Jack and Jill foundation for helping us forget about cancer for a bit and concentrate on the miles of smiles and memories we’ve made on this trip! With sponsors, @marriotthotels, @visittampabay and @universalstudios, among others, we had an amazing time visiting Tampa, the Tampa Bay Aquarium, Universal Studios, and had excellent dinner reservations at some very tasty restaurants! We had a blast! Thank you John, Samantha, Carlito for this awesome opportunity! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs80IyvB6Il/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11ekgzvqqdpqt

Did you figure it out?! Why, Jurassic Park of course! Having a blast at #universalstudiosorlando ! Yep, commissioned this awesome ride for the day! Gotta tell ya, I have a new appreciation for those that are actually CONFINED or REQUIRE a #mobilityvehicle to get around. People are SO rude to people on one of these. Have some compassion - Please! Hope you’re having a great Monday! #adventurethroughadversity #explore #adventure #overland #overlander #overlanding #pancanoverland #vacation #pancreaticcancer #pancreaticcancerpatient #livelikeyouredying #living (at Jurrasic Park At Island Of Adventure) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs6WUHQhfvj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aww1g1agaz11

Off road tires, 3” of clearance for all the terrain, a certain soundtrack, got the speed control set to max! Where in the world is #PanCanOverland ?! 1 more hint in a few minutes!

That Would be my son and daughter living a dream scenario of holding an African penguin 🐧! Meet Cliff the penguin! He plopped right down and snuggled up to both of them during our visit to the Tampa Aquarium! #meetcliff #bucketlist #penguin #dream #dreamscancometrue #travel #tampa #florida #children #smilesallaround #pancreaticcancer #pancreaticcancerpatient #pancanoverland #adventurethroughadversity #adventure #explore (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs5o12OBVuN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1je8e59yj78se

Hey all! Been too long since my last update! 10 days to be exact! Truth is, I’ve made like 4 videos and by the time I’ve edited, rendered, and have it processed into a vid to upload, it’s like 9:00 PM and, well, who’s gonna watch a video at 9:00 PM? https://youtu.be/pwnqZtoCfyI Anyway, It’s the one where Bryan gets a CT, a bone scan and talks about upcoming trips! #overlanding #overland #overlander #cancer #cancerpatient #pancreaticcancerpatient #pancanoverland #pancanoverlandjeep #livelikeyouredying #explore #getout #adventurethroughadversity (at Elk River, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BswmisPB3YB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l3000hwly619

You may or may not know, I attended Burning Man last year. It was a bucket list item I had on the list for at least 16 years! But, with the help of @jennifer.langille , her friend @tahoepinup and @sfslim of BurningWish.org I was able to fulfill that bucket list item, as well as many stops along the way! Here is an article from Adventure.com about my journey and the journey of other #cancerpatients who were able to experience Burning Man for the first, and possibly the last time. Thank you for an awesome article! Thank you to all of you who made my burn an epic experience! Much love to you all 💜 #burningwish #burningman #virginburner #burn #evencancerdidntstopmyburn #pancreaticcancer #pancreaticcancerpatient #overlander #overlanding #overland #pancanoverland #pancanoverlandjeep #adventure #adventurethroughadversity #cancer #livelikeyouredying (at Elk River, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsnmbFFBCPi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tq43zlpeg761

This guy and his family have been instrumental in keeping my spirits up, pulling me out of numerous pits of depression and self doubt, lifting my spirits when I’m down, and generally showing my family and I what it means to have unconditional love for one another. Thank you Shawn for being my selfie date for the last 3 New Years’ and thank you to the whole Bengtson family for your unbelievable support of my family, my wife and I over the years! Love knows no bounds. Love you guys! (at Elk River, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsFL2AbhikQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ri3fwqqbqdl
