DATING AFTER #thebachelor THREAD:
When you are on a show like the @BachelorABC often people want to know about your post show dating life. While I keep mine pretty private, I thought I would let you in on one VERY special guy.

2. The first guy I went out with after the show was Ian. He had been a firefighter and now was working as a nurse. Somehow he also found the time to be passionate about fitness, which is how we met, at a yoga retreat. It was hard NOT to notice him.

3. With a little help from his GIANT canine sidekick, Ian made friends with EVERYONE. He was charismatic, kind, and let’s just be honest here... was a welcomed view poolside. After some encouragement from fellow gawkers and a little liquid courage, Ian and I exchanged info.

4. While ours was not destined to be a great romance, I do not have ONE bad thing to say about Ian. He’s fearless in the pursuit of what he wants in his life and right now... Ian is battling FOR his life. He selflessly left Arizona to help out the #COVID19 crisis in #New York.

5. While there helping others Ian became ill and it was discovered that he had Grade IV Glioblastoma (GBM), a rare and aggressive brain cancer and was rushed into surgery.

6. I don’t want you to take my word about how special Ian is, so I will share with you his interview on the @TODAYshow here:

7. I share his story with you so that just as Ian rushed to help others, you may find it in your to give back to him. If you have the means, please consider donating to Ian and relieving the financial pressure of medical costs during this time. http://shorturl.at/bktGK 

8. I understand these are difficult financial times for so many people, and if you aren’t in a position to donate, please retweet his story to spread awareness! Thank you
