It is in these moments that...

It is in these moments that we are defined...

This is the moment when we realize that all we have is the memory of the experiences that changed who we were... the moments that Tom touched us so intimately, and personally that he left an indelible mark on our soul.

For those of us who have been changed forever by Tom Wieser... we demand the world to pause in recognition of who you are to each of us. And we take this time to honor you, just as you honored each of us during your life.

We celebrate you and continue to work to bring your family out of the financial devastation this disease brought upon them. We may not have been able to find a cure in time to keep you here... but we can continue to work to spare your beautiful family from the consequences from a life ravaged by cancer.

We continue to donate and contribute whatever we can to honor your memory. We will not rest until your family is fully provided for... and imagine that you are smiling in heaven knowing that your loved ones are being held up in reverence the way you held up so many of us during your time here on Earth.

Each of us can give $1, $5, or $10... not a mighty amount by the judgment of a King. But together we move mountains by the mighty name of our Lord God.. and we lift up the family of this disciple of God who we came to know by the name of Tom Wieser. Together, are stronger than cancer.

Join me in the continued effort to rid this family of debt. They have suffered for a decade as they fought to find a cure for this disease. It is time to end the suffering once and for all.

Please join me in donating. Each of us can afford to give $1, $5 or $10. No amount is too small. Collectively... we change the world for this family.

All we have left is each other... and the Hope that Tom's inspiration will result in a cure for cancer that will someday save you or I... bringing this circle of life to it's completion.

We are family. We are... Team Wieser.

In Faith, Hope, Love and Determination...

Update from Heidi Wieser on 5/13: Dear...

Update from Heidi Wieser on 5/13:

Dear Friends and Family,

The email I never wanted to send and the email you never wanted to receive. Tom passed away at 2:30 this afternoon in our family room surrounded by myself, Emily, Tommy, Allie, Timmy and our dog Summer. Tom's parents were also here. Tom was not in pain. He was talking and smiling up until a few minutes before he went home to Jesus.

I will send out another email by mid week with arrangement times. We plan on a rosary one night and a mass and reception the following day. My only request right now is for prayers for my children.

At the mass, NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED IN THAT IS IN BLACK OR DRESSED FANCY. You can only come to Tom's celebration of life if you wear a jersey or something special that reminds you of my Tom. NO BLACK ALLOWED!

In faith and hope,
Heidi

A thought... As we sit in silence...

A thought...

As we sit in silence longing to be with Tom, Heidi and the family.. perhaps each of us can take a moment to post a loving thought to the family via this website. While we may not hear from them daily, they do read every post.

If you have not donated, please consider contributing a small donation to help cover the catastrophic expenses incurred during the last nearly decade of Tom's battle with Cancer. As I have said before, no amount is too small. If 100 of us give $10 each... well you can do the math. It all helps.

Bless you for all of your love, support and encouragement of this family. Without you, this would have been an incredibly lonely journey for Tom and Heidi. Every word written is carefully read and pondered upon by the Wieser family.

God bless you and your loved ones as we continue to rid the world of this dreadful disease. Thank you again for all of your love.

Best,

Holly

Welcome our Celebrate the Life of Tom Wieser page, a fundraising site dedicated to the mission of helping the family of Tom Wieser.

On February 12, 2004, Tom Wieser was diagnosed with State 2/C Rectal Cancer. On that day, the husband and father of four young children began his battle with this horrible disease. After a year of aggressive treatment including chemo, radiation and surgery, the cancer metastasized and spread to his lungs. Tom was given two years to live.

Tom Wieser aggressively fought this cancer and willingly opted for any kind of treatment possible that would extend his life long enough to see his children grow. Tom defied all the odds and the doctors were baffled by the simple fact that Tom continued to live.

After more than nine years of battle, this insipid disease finally wore Tom’s body out. On Monday, May 13th, Tom Wieser passed away surrounded by his wife, four children, mother, father and family dog.

Our hope for this effort is to continue to raise enough money to provide for the payment of all medical bills that were accumulated in order to keep Tom Wieser alive longer than anyone ever predicted. We want to help ease the horrible financial burden that this disease has had on the family.

Years ago, Tom and his wife Heidi created a foundation to nurture other families who are battling this disease. The Me One Foundation has sent thousands affected by cancer on a free vacation where they are able to get away from the day to day realities of battling their disease. Tom and Heidi, along with their four children, devoted their lives to helping other families rather than try to draw attention to their own needs for financial assistance.

This account was created through a collaborative effort by those who have been touched by the unwavering faith and love demonstrated by the Wieser family over the past nine years. We continue raise funds in order to honor Tom’s memory. We want to provide for the family and try to ease their tremendous burden just a little bit.

Won't you help us?

My deepest sympathies on your loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting Tom but was able to see his Skype video with Dr. Grogan. He is truly a role model for everyone.

It was privilege to have known Tom, a rare human being. The world is a better place for having had him in it. Very few people can say that. Tom is one such person. My condolences to Tom’s family and many friends.
