Tyler's
Planet — Tyer Stutzman (1979-2003) was a sophomore at Anderson University, majoring in German and Spanish, when he was diagnosed with Acute Mylogenous Leukemia (AML). In 2000 he began an inspirational battle against the cancer with a bone marrow/stem cell transplant and chemotherapy. Intent on providing information, encouragement, and hope to others confronted with disease, Tyler chronicled his treatment over the course of a year. The result is an award winning, feature-length documentary film entitled Uncertain Tomorrow. Tyler arrived in Munich with the JYM Class of 2001/02. Despite his on-going battle with leukemia, Tyler nevertheless produced a video in Munich to help promote JYM for future students. His personal struggle, combined with an intense desire to live life to its fullest and make a difference that might benefit others, has left a lasting impact on all of us at JYM. This was Tyler's Planet. Just days after returning to the US from Munich, Tyler departed for Ecuador where he planned to spend a semester. Within a few months, however, his leukemia relapsed. Tyler completed his studies at Anderson University shortly before his death in May, 2003.
