Chad Candelaria Support
Donation protected
UGP Community, Family and Friends-
I wanted to take the time to inform everyone that Chad Candelaria, one of the UGP Coaches in our LA location, is under recovery from a removal of a brain tumor.
This news all came as a sudden shock to our entire team, and needless to say it’s been a rough last few days as the sobering news came to light after Chad suddenly started feeling symptoms pointing towards a serious issue. Luckily, the medical team at UCLA were able to contain Chad’s situation, quickly identify a best course of action and within 48 hours of submission performed an operation to remove the majority of the mass in his brain.
Chad is a couple of days post-operation, and is progressing incredibly well all things considered. After seeing him today, and talking with his family, I feel confident that with proper care Chad will make a full recovery. However, the reality is that Chad will need and has needed major treatment, care and rehabilitation. This is just the beginning of his journey towards getting back to what he loves doing; helping a great community of individuals enjoy the best golf of their lives.
We have started a GoFundMe campaign to support the medical bills and associated expenses that will come for Chad and his family as they recover from this trauma. I ask our whole community to come together and support Chad during this difficult time, he told me today how hard he plans to fight to regain his strength and get back to UGP as soon as he can. Thank you all so much as we come together in supporting Chad.
