Less than 24 hours after learning that he'd finally beaten cancer, lineman Tyler Manick was on the road from Old Fort, North Carolina, to Lake Charles, Louisiana. He bid farewell to his wife and child and hurried to join his crew, helping restore power to hundreds of thousands in the wake of hurricanes Laura and Delta.
On May 16, 2018, Manick was told he may only have six weeks to live. His wife, Chelsey, was eight months pregnant at the time. Manick had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and radical treatment was his only option.
