Curing Cancer One Masterpiece at a Time!


TRUIST - My Life-Saving Bank

Banks earn bad reps as soulless corporations. Yet compassion thrives at Truist even amid complex mergers. Far beyond finances, they champion communities, including cancer causes that are critical to me. Their purpose rings true: "Inspire and build better lives and communities."


I moved my portfolio from Wells Fargo to Truist years ago after they didn't support Martin's Ride To Cure Cancer, my bicycle ride across America. Thanks to my financial advisor Stephen Engelson's steadfast guidance, Truist enables dreams like my cancerART collection of North Carolina artists as they support our cancer fight. Despite rocky diagnosis detours, they've helped safeguard the road ahead.


Tireless assistance navigating the monetary maze frees me to focus on doing what I love - one of the best medicines any cancer patient takes. Truists also live their creed through substantive aid for organizations like Go Jen Go supporting breast cancer warriors. Their site spotlights this group while their funds fuel real impact. Among other alliances, Truist teams volunteered with our RunningStart charity, improving cancer survivor mobility through marathons. Truist walks their mission's talk. 


Far from the heartless stereotype, I've found only compassion at Truist. CEO Bill Rodgers sets the tone from the top. When life hangs by a thread, financial bedrocks help cancer patients like me to see the light beyond the nightmare. Truist remains that beacon, providing secure footing for years when all else shakes. Their humanity, expertise and people make my life possible. If it is possible to love a bank, I love this one. Thanks, Truist, and ROCK ON!
