**"Dear Dr. Chuan,**
I want you to know I'm still in the ring—fighting for my life, my dignity, and a system that keeps trying to count me out. The battles with banks, bureaucracy, and badges continue, but so do I.
Your support has been my corner in this fight. I don't say it enough, but your belief in me matters more than you know.
With gratitude,
**Frank Russell**
*P.S. Still standing. Still swinging."*
