David Feltner

In 2007, David Feltner was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma which is a type of soft-tissue cancer. David battled through four relapses while he was a student at Purdue. As a member of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, David had the support of all of his brothers. David knew that chemotherapy would cause him to lose his hair, and he asked his brothers to help him shave his head. To show their support, the brothers of Phi Kappa Phi shaved their heads as well. David never lost his spirit, and he has inspired us all to do great things. Each year, PUDM and Pi Kappa Phi honor David by sharing his story and showing others what tremendous character he had.
