China, 6th Jun 2026 – From June 3 to 5, Money20/20 Europe, a major global fintech event, was held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. As a representative company in China’s digital payments sector, Lianlian DigiTechwas invited to appear at the Zhejiang Pavilion and deliver an on-site presentation, becoming one of the featured payment companies at the event. This showcased the innovation strength and industry influence of Chinese fintech companies in global development.

As a leading AI-driven digital payment service provider in China, Lianlian DigiTech, guided by its “AI-native + globalization” strategy, engaged in in-depth exchanges with global industry partners on topics including cross-border payment technology innovation, global payment network collaboration, and ecosystem co-building. The company also focused on exploring the innovative applications of AI technology in payment efficiency optimization, intelligent risk control, and cross-border business scenarios. Leveraging the deep integration of digital payments and intelligent technologies, Lianlian DigiTech is accelerating the construction of new global intelligent financial infrastructure, helping enterprises achieve more efficient and intelligent global fund connectivity.

According to available information, Lianlian DigiTech was founded in 2009 and was listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2024 (2598.HK). It is a leading cross-border payment service provider in China. Backed by 68 global payment licenses and related qualifications, Lianlian has established a cross-border payment network covering more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, serving over 10.4 million customers globally.

Europe is a key pillar of Lianlian’s global expansion strategy. In recent years, Lianlian has continued to strengthen its localized capabilities in Europe, establishing local operations teams and obtaining the necessary licenses, including an Authorized Payment Institution (API) license in the United Kingdom and an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license in Luxembourg.

Of particular significance is the EMI license granted by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), which extends service coverage across the European Economic Area (EEA), encompassing 27 EU member states as well as Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. This further unlocks one-stop payment capabilities across the region.

The license supports electronic money issuance, cross-border payments, fund settlement, and multi-currency operations. It also provides a solid foundation for Lianlian to connect markets across Europe under a unified service standard and to serve cross-border e-commerce and international trade businesses throughout the region.

Building on its continuously strengthening compliance capabilities, Lianlian DigiTech is further accelerating the expansion of its business network across Europe. Leveraging its licensing framework, technological capabilities, and partner network, LianLian Europe is committed to providing local customers with efficient, secure, and compliant cross-border payment and fintech services, helping merchants and businesses expand globally with greater speed and confidence.

Currently, Lianlian has established official partnerships with multiple European cross-border e-commerce platforms and continues to enhance its local collection and payment service capabilities across the region. Taking TikTok Shop Europe local stores as an example, Lianlian has fully launched its EUR collection service, supporting unified euro account collections for sellers in Spain, Germany, Italy, France, and Ireland. This provides cross-border merchants with a more convenient, efficient, and cost-effective collection experience.

Through its long-term global expansion efforts, Lianlian has gradually established compliance capabilities as its core foundational strength. Building on this foundation, the company continues to integrate AI capabilities, driving its evolution from a payment service provider to an AI-native financial infrastructure provider. By doing so, Lianlian delivers efficient, secure, and compliant fund solutions to support businesses in their global growth.

Lianlian DigiTech stated that its participation in Money20/20 Europe represents an important opportunity to deepen local connections in Europe and engage with global industry resources. Leveraging the summit platform, Lianlian will further strengthen collaboration channels with European and global technology innovators and industry partners, while fostering industry dialogue on the future of cross-border payment services in the AI era.

Looking ahead, Lianlian will continue to advance its “AI-native + globalization” strategy, further enhancing its localized, intelligent, and compliance-driven fintech service capabilities. The company remains committed to helping more cross-border businesses build efficient global fund connectivity, supporting enterprises as they deepen their presence in the European market and expand their global growth opportunities, while working alongside partners worldwide to drive the next stage of digital transformation in global cross-border trade.

Florida, USA, Jun 06, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Former football athlete Therrian Fontenot is speaking out about the importance of discipline, mentorship and structured environments for young people, drawing from his own journey from Louisiana to Los Angeles and eventually to collegiate and professional football.

Fontenot, who earned a full scholarship to Fresno State after standing out at Leuzinger High School in Los Angeles, says organised sports helped shape his mindset and gave him direction during critical years of his life.

“Football gave me structure early,” Fontenot says. “It taught me accountability, consistency and how to stay focused on long-term goals.”

His message comes as youth participation in organised sports continues to decline across the United States. According to data from the Aspen Institute’s Project Play initiative, fewer than 40 per cent of children between ages 6 and 12 regularly participate in team sports. Research has also shown that structured extracurricular activities can improve academic performance, social development and long-term confidence in young people.

Fontenot believes those lessons extend far beyond athletics.

“Sports teach you how to work with people, how to deal with pressure and how to stay disciplined even when things get difficult,” he says. “Those are life skills, not just football skills.”

After attending Fresno State, Fontenot left college early to pursue a professional football career. Although his time playing professionally was relatively short, he says the experience reinforced the importance of preparation and resilience.

“At that level, everybody has talent,” Fontenot explains. “The difference comes from mindset, discipline and preparation.”

Today, Fontenot continues to focus on fitness, weight training and personal development while building Help2Others, an early-stage charitable initiative centred on encouragement, growth and community support.

“I want to create something positive that helps people stay motivated,” he says. “A lot of people just need direction and support.”

According to the National Alliance for Youth Sports, around 70 per cent of children stop playing organised sports by age 13, often due to pressure, burnout or lack of access. Fontenot believes communities can help change that by creating more supportive environments for young people.

“Not everybody grows up with strong structure around them,” he says. “Sometimes having the right coach, mentor or environment can completely change somebody’s path.”

Fontenot is encouraging individuals and families to focus on practical ways to support discipline and personal growth in everyday life, including:

• Encouraging consistent routines and healthy habits

• Supporting local youth sports and mentorship programmes

• Promoting teamwork, accountability and resilience

• Staying physically active and mentally focused

• Leading by example through actions and consistency

“You don’t have to do something huge to make a difference,” Fontenot says. “Sometimes it starts with simply showing up, staying disciplined and helping somebody stay encouraged.”

As he continues building the next chapter of his life, Fontenot says the lessons from football still guide him every day.

“The biggest thing I learned is that growth takes work,” he says. “You keep showing up, keep improving and keep moving forward.”

• Barrie-based Georgian Mall Family Dental is encouraging families to focus on positive early dental experiences to help children build healthier lifelong habits.

BARRIE, ON, Jun 06, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Georgian Mall Family Dental is raising awareness about dental anxiety in children and the long-term impact early experiences can have on lifelong oral health habits.

The Barrie dental practice says more families are struggling with children who fear dental visits, often because of stress, uncertainty, or negative first experiences. The clinic is encouraging parents to rethink how children are introduced to dental care and focus on making those early visits calm, positive, and routine.

“Children remember how they felt more than anything else,” says Dr. Rebecca Hulbert, founder of Georgian Mall Family Dental. “We had a little boy who wouldn’t even walk past reception during his first visit. One of our team members sat on the floor with him and played with toy cars for fifteen minutes. By the end of the appointment, he let us count his teeth.”

According to the Canadian Dental Association, many adults with dental anxiety developed those fears during childhood. Studies also show that children with positive early dental experiences are more likely to maintain regular visits and preventive habits later in life.

That connection is why the clinic believes the patient experience matters as much as the treatment itself.

Early Experiences Shape Long-Term Habits 

Dental anxiety remains one of the biggest reasons patients avoid care. Research estimates that nearly one-third of Canadians experience some level of dental fear or stress.

For children, those fears can start early.

When appointments feel rushed or overwhelming, kids may begin associating dental care with discomfort or fear. Over time, that can lead to delayed visits and larger oral health problems.

Georgian Mall Family Dental says small adjustments can make a major difference:

• introducing children to the office gradually

• using calm communication

• creating kid-friendly spaces

• allowing children time to feel comfortable before treatment

The clinic built a dedicated kids zone to help reduce stress before appointments even begin.

“We noticed children relax when they have time to play first,” says Dr. Hulbert. “One little girl came in crying before her appointment. After twenty minutes in the kids zone, she was showing us her stuffed animal’s teeth and pretending to be the dentist.”

The clinic says these moments help build trust and normalize dental care at an early age.

Creating a Family-First Environment 

Georgian Mall Family Dental was founded in 2013 with a focus on creating a family-friendly experience for patients of all ages.

The practice offers evening and weekend hours to accommodate busy families and emphasizes communication and patient comfort throughout the visit.

“We never force children into the chair,” says Dr. Hulbert. “Sometimes a first visit is simply about meeting the team, exploring the office, and taking a fun ‘chair ride.’ Those small moments help children feel comfortable, and that comfort can shape how they feel about dental care for years to come.” 

The clinic says parents also play an important role in shaping how children view dental care.

“Kids pick up on stress quickly,” she says. “If parents treat appointments like something scary, children often do the same. We encourage families to make it feel normal and positive.”

The Importance of Preventive Care 

The clinic is also using this awareness effort to encourage preventive dental care.

The Canadian Dental Association recommends that children visit a dentist within six months of their first tooth appearing or by age one. Early visits help identify problems sooner and create familiarity with dental care before fear develops.

Georgian Mall Family Dental says preventive habits are easier to build when children feel comfortable returning regularly.

“We’ve had kids who started visiting us as toddlers and now remind their parents about appointments,” says Dr. Hulbert. “That’s when you know the routine has become part of their life instead of something they fear.”

A Call to Action for Parents 

The clinic is encouraging parents to take small steps that help children feel more comfortable with dental care:

• start visits early

• speak positively about appointments

• avoid using fear-based language

• create consistent routines around oral health

• choose environments designed for families and children

“Children don’t need perfect experiences,” says Dr. Hulbert. “They just need experiences where they feel safe, listened to, and comfortable coming back.”

The clinic hopes the conversation around dental anxiety continues to shift toward prevention, patience, and the creation of healthier long-term habits for families.

About Georgian Mall Family Dental

Georgian Mall Family Dental is a family-focused dental practice located inside Georgian Mall in Barrie, Ontario. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Rebecca Hulbert, the clinic was built around patient experience, preventive care, and family values. The practice serves patients of all ages and is known for its welcoming environment, kid-friendly approach, and commitment to helping patients feel comfortable and informed throughout their care.

Leveraging AI Compute Clusters, BILLSAS launches deep learning models for millisecond market simulations, redefining speed in the Intelligent Trading Era.

Saudi Arabia, 5th Jun 2026 – BILLSAS, a leading pioneer in financial technology and digital asset management, today announced the deployment of its proprietary BILLSAS GPU Deep Quantitative Models. Operating in synergy with the company’s extensive AI Compute Clusters, this institutional-grade infrastructure is engineered to process highly complex global market data and execute advanced trading simulations in mere milliseconds. The unveiling marks a critical advancement in providing professional investors with the execution speed and analytical depth traditionally reserved for top-tier Wall Street institutions.

For decades, the highest echelons of global finance have relied on sophisticated “black box” quantitative strategies. These proprietary models, heavily guarded by institutional giants, have historically created an uneven playing field. In the rapidly evolving market landscape of 2026, where global liquidity shifts and cross-market arbitrages occur faster than human cognition can process, latency is no longer just an inconvenience—it is a critical point of failure. Retail investors and mid-tier institutions lacking access to extreme processing power frequently face significant slippage, delayed execution, and missed opportunities.

BILLSAS is actively dismantling these barriers to entry through the rollout of its GPU Deep Quantitative Models. By moving away from standard central processing units (CPUs) and embracing the parallel processing capabilities of high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs), the BILLSAS architecture can simultaneously analyze millions of distinct data points. The models ingest vast streams of structured and unstructured data—ranging from traditional K-line metrics and macroeconomic indicators to real-time global news sentiment and cross-market order book depth.

This immense computational capability allows the BILLSAS ecosystem to perform continuous, multi-dimensional market simulations. Before any capital is deployed, the GPU Deep Quantitative Models stress-test potential trading strategies against a multitude of historical and hypothetical market scenarios. This predictive capability, executed in milliseconds, empowers the system to identify optimal entry and exit points, effectively neutralizing the speed advantage long held by traditional algorithmic trading firms.

The physical manifestation of this technological leap was recently highlighted during a comprehensive showcase of the BILLSAS intelligent trading room. Unlike the chaotic, high-volume trading floors of the past, the BILLSAS facility represents the pinnacle of the Intelligent Trading Era. The space operates with focused, quiet precision. Expansive digital displays dominate the room, projecting live visualizations of the GPU Deep Quantitative Models at work. The screens track global capital flows, algorithm execution speeds, and cross-asset correlations in real-time, illuminated by the glow of data dashboards rather than the shouting of floor traders.

Within this advanced environment, technical engineers, data scientists, and quantitative analysts monitor the system’s health and risk management protocols. They do not trade; instead, they supervise the AI. This dynamic highlights a crucial philosophy at BILLSAS: human intelligence is utilized for strategic oversight and model refinement, while the raw speed of the AI Compute Clusters handles the tactical execution. This synergy ensures absolute objectivity, eliminating the emotional hesitation and cognitive biases that frequently derail manual trading strategies during periods of high volatility.

“The introduction of our GPU Deep Quantitative Models represents a fundamental shift in how market execution is approached,” stated a spokesperson for BILLSAS. “We are bringing an unprecedented level of computational power to the broader investment community. By leveraging deep learning and high-performance computing, our systems can interpret global market structures and execute trades with a speed and precision that redefines industry standards. The BILLSAS intelligent trading room is a testament to this reality—a space where data, rather than intuition, drives every single decision.”

As the financial sector continues to integrate artificial intelligence, BILLSAS is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. The ongoing optimization of its quantitative models ensures that the company remains at the forefront of the Intelligent Trading Era, providing investors with the robust, scalable, and intelligent infrastructure necessary to thrive in the modern digital economy.

About BILLSAS
BILLSAS is a cutting-edge financial technology firm specializing in AI-driven quantitative trading, Web3 innovations, and intelligent asset management. Powered by its proprietary BILLSAS AI Compute Clusters and BILLSAS GPU Deep Quantitative Models, the company provides robust financial infrastructure and comprehensive strategy pools designed to navigate complex global markets. Dedicated to leading the Intelligent Trading Era, BILLSAS empowers modern investors with institutional-grade technology, rigorous risk management, and cross-market arbitrage capabilities.

CJ Favors Jr. has spent five months training at Van Hook Sports Performance while seeking the right college football opportunity

United States, 5th Jun 2026 — CJ Favors Jr., a wide receiver who previously competed at St. Scholastica, is currently uncommitted and actively seeking the right college football opportunity ahead of the 2026 season.

Favors, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound wide receiver with a 6-foot-7 wingspan, a 42-inch vertical, and a reported 4.48-second 40-yard dash from a wide receiver stance, is an under-the-radar player with the physical profile, production, and upside to force programs to take a second look.

During the 2025 season — his first year starting at wide receiver at the college level — Favors recorded 34 receptions for 634 yards, averaging 18.7 yards per catch, with five touchdowns and zero fumbles. Competing in a run-heavy offensive system, he made the most of his opportunities when targeted, showing the ability to stretch the field vertically, win contested catches, create separation, protect the football, and turn limited chances into explosive production.

That upside has already been noticed in scouting circles. Oliver James West, Midwest Scouting Director for Prep Redzone, described Favors as an eye-catching uncommitted transfer with “ridiculous length,” “lean, ropey muscular definition,” “great speed,” and “explosive” traits after watching him compete at the University of Minnesota prospect camp.

“Really like his athletic upside and dynamic ability,” West said.

What makes Favors especially compelling is the complete physical profile. Along with his frame and length, he brings rare leaping ability, body control, ball security, and ball skills that make him a legitimate red-zone and deep-ball threat. His 4.48 40-yard dash from a receiver stance gives coaches a more position-specific look at his functional speed and acceleration, while his catch radius and one-handed catch ability have become consistent parts of his skill set.

Since January, Favors has been training full-time at Van Hook Sports Performance in Henderson, Nevada, a Las Vegas-area performance facility known for attracting elite talent, including NFL and MLB athletes, who train there to prepare for their seasons and maximize performance. That environment has given Favors a professional-level standard to match every day as he continues sharpening his route running, explosiveness, strength training, conditioning, release package, football IQ, physicality, and overall consistency.

For a program with championship ambitions, Favors represents more than just another available receiver. He represents a potential matchup problem — a big, explosive target with the length, ball skills, and mindset to change the way an offense attacks defenses in 2026.

“I know I’m not the biggest name available right now, but I believe I’m one of the best opportunities still on the board,” said CJ Favors Jr. “At 6’3” with a 6’7” wingspan, I can win matchups, stretch the field, and give a quarterback a target who can go get the football. I’ve been training like a pro, preparing for the right program to give me a real shot. When that happens, I’ll prove the rest.”

Those who have watched Favors train believe his best football is still ahead of him, including Coach Brian Van Hook, Founder & Head Performance Coach of Van Hook Sports Performance.

“CJ is something special,” said Coach Brian Van Hook. “He has the ‘it’ factor. His size, length, athleticism, work ethic, and mindset give him a chance to change the outlook of a team. He has the tools you look for in a complete receiver — size, hands, explosiveness, confidence, and the hunger to keep improving.”

Favors’ recruitment has already begun gaining momentum, with multiple college programs reaching out and offers currently under consideration as staffs continue evaluating late-cycle receiver talent. Among the programs showing serious interest is an HBCU program viewed as a potential national contender in the race toward the Cricket Celebration Bowl, further signaling that college staffs are taking notice of his size, production, leadership, and upside.

Favors currently holds a 3.0 GPA and plans to major in Psychology. He remains open in the recruiting process while continuing conversations with programs seeking immediate receiver talent.

In an era of constant conflict, this is a “dancing story” that follows a beautiful, intensely curious boy named Oniyasha (CV: Yumiri Hanamori). As he meets people, laughs, cries, and faces his own weaknesses, he shapes a new form of dance in an ever-changing world. It is a tale that might have unfolded when the boy who would one day create Noh—Zeami—was still known as Oniyasha, carrying his legacy across 600 years to the present.

The anime is produced by animation studio, Cypic (Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died). The series is directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi, known for his work on the TV anime The Great Passage, the animated film Love Me, Love Me Not, and both the TV and theatrical versions of the Backflip!! series.

Character Visuals

Inuo (CV: Youji Matsuda)

A mysterious man who appears suddenly and vanishes just as quickly. Each time he shows up, he leaves behind words that influence Oniyasha.

Youji Matsuda – PROFILE

Affiliated with TM Entertainment. Notable voice acting roles include Ashitaka (Princess Mononoke), Asbel (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind), and the Japanese dub for Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. He is also active as a live-action actor, with appearances including the NHK Taiga drama UNBOUND (Berabou: Tsutajuu Eiga no Yumebanashi)

・Comment by Youji Matsuda 

The project’s title is “The World is Dancing” and the protagonist is Zeami (Oniyasha). Just hearing that was enough to make me incredibly excited, and on top of that, I voice Inuo is a great historical figure who colored the era alongside Kan’ami and Zeami. 

However, the Inuo in this particular work is elusive and incredibly mysterious. I was eagerly awaiting the script, looking forward to seeing how his relationship with Oniyasha would be depicted. Actually, this is my first time appearing as a regular cast member in a serialized animated work. 
I was honored to tackle such a wonderful role as part of this new experience.

Shirabyoshi (CV: Miyuki Sawashiro) 

A frail woman living in a run-down shed. She survives by selling her body in exchange for food, barely managing to stay alive.

・Comment by Miyuki Sawashiro

I’m Miyuki Sawashiro, and I had the privilege of voicing Shirabyoshi.  As someone who has lived a comfortable life, never having to worry about food or a place to live, I felt utterly daunted wondering how close I could truly get to her reality… but I was captivated by the deep yearning of her soul, and found myself irresistibly drawn toward her.

I was genuinely looking forward to seeing how her dance would be expressed in the animation, and… please, look forward to it.  Her unwavering determination has brought together a select group of talented creators who are making anime with that very same tenacity.

INTRODUCTION:

One does not need dance to live.
In 1374, during the turbulent age when the Northern and Southern Courts were locked in conflict, the Northern Court’s shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, was becoming an increasingly dominant force.

Born the son of Kan’ami, head of the Kanze troupe of sarugaku performers, Oniyasha drifts through his days with a hazy question lodged in his heart: Why do people dance? His spirit remains clouded, until the day he encounters a dance that is truly “good.”

Curious, sensitive, and strikingly beautiful, the boy meets people, laughs, cries, confronts his own weaknesses, and slowly begins to shape a new form of dance for a world steeped in impermanence.

Kazuto Mihara’s groundbreaking Noh themed manga from Morning finally comes to life as an anime, filled with scenes that stir the heart and dynamic movement and chanting that can only be expressed through animation.

Directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi (The Great Passage, Backflip!!) and animated by Cypic (Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died), this series showcases top tier animation supported by a standout cast.

This is a story shaped by dance that may have unfolded when the boy who would one day create Noh—Zeami—was still known as Oniyasha, carried across 600 years to the present.

STORY:

In 1374, amid the turmoil of the Northern and Southern Courts’ long running conflict, a boy named Oniyasha is born into a family of sarugaku theater performers. He spends his days in a kind of quiet gloom, haunted by a simple but persistent question: Why do people dance? Then, one day, he witnesses a dance that he feels to be “good”—and everything begins to change. This is the story of the beautiful young boy who would one day shape the art of Noh and be remembered as Zeami.

United States, 5th Jun 2026 – For decades, Bruce lived the kind of life most athletes only dream about. Originally from New Zealand, he represented his country in international junior golf competitions before earning a scholarship to Ohio State University. After college, he competed throughout Europe and Asia before earning his PGA Tour card and playing on the PGA Tour during the 1980s. Following his professional golf career, Bruce helped develop multiple golf courses in Ohio, served as Director of Golf for one of the state’s premier country clubs, and later built and sold a successful horse racing technology company. His life was defined by determination, discipline, and an unwavering competitive spirit.

That spirit was tested in 2024 when Bruce was diagnosed with head, neck, and throat cancer. Despite undergoing extensive radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy treatments, his cancer later spread to his lungs. Faced with one of the greatest challenges of his life and told that his condition was no longer considered curable, Bruce refused to give up. Instead, he began searching for additional options and researching every possible avenue that might help him continue the fight.

Throughout his journey, Bruce says his faith became one of his greatest sources of strength. During the darkest moments of his diagnosis, he leaned heavily on prayer, hope, and his belief that God had not finished writing his story. He also credits the unwavering support of his wife and family, who stood beside him through treatments, appointments, setbacks, and recovery. According to Bruce, having people who refuse to give up on you can make all the difference when facing a life-threatening illness.

Bruce also recognizes the physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals who guided him through his treatment. Much of his care was provided through The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute at The Ohio State University, where he received extensive treatment and support. While working closely with his medical team, he also began exploring alternative approaches and researching emerging ideas that might complement his care.

During that search, Bruce discovered the work of Dr. William Makis, a Canadian physician known for advocating the use of repurposed medications and alternative treatment protocols. Through conversations with other patients and his own research, Bruce became interested in protocols involving ivermectin and mebendazole, medications that have gained attention among some physicians and patient communities exploring alternative cancer treatment approaches.

To obtain the medications that became part of his protocol, Bruce turned to All Family Pharmacy. According to Bruce, the company helped provide access to the ivermectin and
mebendazole he was seeking and connected him with physicians who could review and prescribe the medications if appropriate. He credits All Family Pharmacy with making the process simple, reliable, and accessible during one of the most difficult periods of his life, allowing him to pursue the path he believed was right for his situation.

Today, Bruce openly credits five key influences for helping him through his cancer journey: his faith in God, the unwavering support of his family, the doctors and medical professionals who managed his treatment, Dr. William Makis for introducing him to alternative protocols, and All Family Pharmacy for helping him access the medications that became part of his plan.

“The great thing about Florida is that you don’t have to wait years for clinical trials. You have the right to try, and for me, these generic medications made a difference,” Bruce says. “When you’re facing cancer, time matters. You don’t have years to sit around waiting for trials and approvals. Mindset matters too. You have to keep believing, keep fighting, and keep moving forward.”

As a result of his experience, Bruce has become a vocal advocate for alternative and repurposed medicines, particularly ivermectin and mebendazole. He regularly speaks with patients facing difficult diagnoses and encourages them to stay informed, research all available options, and become active participants in their healthcare decisions.

His message is simple: never give up, continue exploring your options, and never lose hope. “The key word is hope. Keep it alive,” Bruce says. “For me, it worked.”

Bruce’s journey from PGA Tour professional to cancer survivor and advocate serves as a powerful reminder that determination, faith, family, and hope can make a meaningful difference in a person’s life. Today, he continues sharing his story in the hope that it may inspire others to keep searching, keep learning, and never stop fighting.
