Esophageal Cancer Action Network, Inc

Hellur, we are Melissa and Kelley, Valerie's children. We are trying to raise money to help our Mama smash this battle with cancer. She's had for about a year now. It has since spread to her frontal lobe [her brain] ,hip,pelvis, its in her bones, esophagus, liver, and lymphnodes. There's not a part of her that doesn't hurt. We would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give. Every cent counts. We're trying to raise funds to ease the financial burden that stage 4 cancer has caused our mother. Due to the severity of her cancer, radiation treatments are required. Almost daily, it's an hour and a 1/2 down to the hospital and an hour and a 1/2 back. Some days after requiring that she goes to her oncologist, which is an hour ½ in the other direction. She's unable to eat and keep food down. The ensure, Boost, & the other things that she needs and can actually keep down are very expensive. She has acquired bills, plus normal rent, utilities, etc that she needs to not worry with right now. She's in and out of the hospital for weeks on end. We're doing all that we can do. TRUST ME... (but kelley and I aren't that financially capable of getting rid of that worry) THANK YOU all so much for listening. Every little bit helps!!!! The funds will be used to put gas in the car. Car maintenance, to get the medication that she needs. Because every medication that she has requires that she paid copay, and the copays add up when you're on about 35 different medicines, used to help her pay her rent and utilities. Our goal with everyone's help is to be rid of every worry she has [i wish we could get rid of her cancer She needs to only focus on her. Getting better, and enjoy what life she has left. We are praying that she has a long life ahead! & the less stress and worry, the better!

Hello, my name is Kyle Kreutzer. In March of this year, my dad was diagnosed with stage 3 Esophageal Cancer. This has been tough on our family but has brought us closer together. My dad has been incredibly strong, battling through chemo and radiation for the last five months. Since I was a little kid, he has been my best friend. From working on the ranch with him and my grandpa, fixing fences, feeding cows, checking water, or anything I could do just to hang out with them. He was one of my coaches throughout my life in sports, rebounding basketballs, being my weightlifting spotter, and countless other things. He’s been there for me through it all.

In April of this year, I decided to turn this negative into a positive. I decided to train for an Ironman and raise money for a nonprofit esophageal cancer foundation in honor of my dad. I started my program for the Ironman prep last week after completing some ramp training the months prior. I wanted to share this process on social media to help promote the fundraiser and foundation. Even though it is nothing close to as tough as what he is going through right now, I hope to help raise money to progress research, advocacy, and awareness of this terrible disease. The organization I am raising money for is the Esophageal Cancer Action Network (ECAN), a nonprofit that helps in research, support, advocacy, and awareness for esophageal cancer.

If you do not wish to donate to the GoFundMe, I have also provided a direct link to the donation page on their website. In October, I will launch a link through ECAN’s Facebook page to raise money there as well. I will post the link at that time. I will also provide updates on my training to hopefully improve donations for this cause. The Ironman I will be doing is the 70.3 Ironman on December 8th in Indian Wells, CA. My Dad still has a long way to go in beating this disease but I know how tough and strong he is, it stands no chance against him. Any donation or support helps tremendously in trying to raise money to help people just like my dad. If you or anyone you know has questions about donating, please feel free to reach out.

100% of the profits from the GoFundMe will go directly to ECAN to support their vital work.

I love you so much, Dad ❤️
