He was happy to marry the woman of his dreams.But his happiness was short lived when Jennifer was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. He then decided to document Jennifer’s battle with cancer through intimate photos.

Angelo has complied these images into a book entitled, The Battle We Didn’t Choose: My Wife’s Fight With Breast Cancer. Fifty percent of the sales go to a non-profit organization named The Love You Share, that he has started to financially assist women who undergo treatment for breast cancer.

They show the challenge, difficulty, fear, sadness and loneliness that we faced, that Jennifer faced, as she battled this disease. Most important of all, they show our Love. These photographs do not define us, but they are us.[/pull_quote_center]
