Chad Rothrock Strong

Chad is a loving husband and devoted father to a baby boy named Erixon. He and his wife Krystal moved to Indiana to make a better life for themselves and for Krystal to finish school. Even though that meant leaving all their loved ones behind in southern California, the big move was a necessary sacrifice. Chad shortly excelled greatly in the RV industry. Life was perfect for the Rothrock family, they were on their way to living the American Dream. On December 8th, 2013, his wife gave birth to their beautiful son and they both couldn't be happier. That was until tragedy struck their lives. When their son turned a month old Chad was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkins Lymphoma. 2014 started out bittersweet for the couple by Erixon starting his life, Chad fighting for his and Krystal trying to hold her family together. After 6 months of extensive chemotherapy they thought the fight was over, until they got the news the cancer had grown back. Now Chad has to go through more harsh treatment followed by a stem cell transplant. This process can take one to many months to complete and he will be out of work most of the time. This will put a huge financial strain on Chad and Krystal. Chad needs to focus on the fight and not the finances. His battle has just begun. Cancer doesn't only affect the patient, it hurts everyone in the person's life. Nobody should have to fight alone.
