Ron DeSantis Gives America Some Good News, Says Wife Casey ‘Is Now Considered Cancer Free’

Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has given America some good news by revealing that his wife, Casey, is now cancer free.

Florida’s first lady has been battling breast cancer.

“I have a positive update about my wife Casey,” Gov. DeSantis said.

“After going through treatment and surgery for breast cancer, she is now considered cancer free.

“For all the women out there going through breast cancer right now, you can overcome this.

“I know it’s very difficult but my wife is proof positive and so if you’d wound back six or seven months, this is exactly the type of news that we had hoped for.”

Casey DeSantis shared a message on Twitter along with a video from her husband confirming the news.

“There are no words to express how truly blessed, grateful and humbled I am to hear the words cancer free,” she said.

“To those who are in the fight, know there is hope.

“Have faith and stay strong.”

According to Casey’s bio: The Governor and First Lady DeSantis are loving parents to daughter, Madison (5 years old), son, Mason (3 years old), and daughter, Mamie (23 months old) – who is the first baby born in the Governor’s Mansion in more than 50 years.

First Lady DeSantis has launched four major initiatives since Governor DeSantis was elected.

Most recently, First Lady DeSantis spearheaded Hope Florida – A Pathway to Prosperity, Economic Self-Sufficiency and Hope.

Implemented through the Department of Children and Families, this initiative is uniting communities through ‘Care Navigators’ who guide Floridians on an individualized path to prosperity by focusing on collaboration between the private sector, faith-based community, nonprofits and government entities – breaking down traditional community silos in an effort to maximize resources and uncover opportunities.

Beneficiaries of this initiative include, but are not limited to, single parents, Floridians on government assistance, mothers contending with substance abuse disorders, and children aging out of the foster care system. Any Floridian can learn more about connecting with a Pathway to Prosperity ‘Care Navigator’ by visiting HopeFlorida.com or by calling 850-300-HOPE.

In February of 2021, First Lady DeSantis launched the Resiliency Florida initiative – a partnership with professional sports teams and athletes – including Tom Brady, David Beckham, Peyton Manning, Lou Holtz, Tony Dungy, Urban Meyer, Crystal Thomas, Ali Marpet, Bryant McFadden, Mark Richt, Twan Russell, Corey Simon, Tra Thomas, Jonathan Vilma, Charlie Ward, Tyler Johnson, Joey Logano, Brandon Lowe, and Chris Mueller – to address the stigma surrounding mental health.

These teams and athletes are lending their voices and personal stories of resilience and hope to empower Florida students to persevere through adversity.

As a part of this initiative, First Lady DeSantis is working with Volunteer Florida and the Florida Department of Education on the Hope Ambassadors program – a network of over 100 middle and high school clubs encouraging a campus culture of kindness and empathy through peer-to-peer mentoring and volunteerism.

Additionally, to support the Resiliency Florida initiative, First Lady DeSantis worked with the Department of Education to develop Character Education Standards to be taught in Florida’s K-12 schools.

Passed unanimously by the State Board of Education in July of 2021, these are Florida’s first standards for Character Education, setting clear expectations for students and teachers and providing opportunities for students to learn how character contributes to the overall civic health of a society and understand the importance of resiliency, responsibility, and respect.

In December of 2019, First Lady DeSantis launched “The Facts. Your Future.” campaign – a public affairs partnership between the Office of the Attorney General, the Florida Department of Health, and the Florida Department of Education.

This initiative empowers students with the facts surrounding substance abuse and how it negatively impacts their lives.

A major announcement and new developments on this initiative are expected later this year.

First Lady DeSantis’ first major announcement was the Hope for Healing Florida initiative in May of 2019, which brought together stakeholders statewide to discuss new community-level solutions to address mental illness and substance abuse with emphasis on resources for children, veterans, and first responders.

The Hope for Healing website helps navigate the many ways Floridians can access available resources.

A native of Troy, Ohio, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the College of Charleston.

First Lady DeSantis is also a three-time National Champion equestrian, as well as a runner-up Division I NCAA Champion. She worked for the PGA Tour as a producer and on-air host.

She earned an Emmy for on-air talent while working in Jacksonville, Florida.
