This fundraiser is for our dear friend Mike "Mooney" Ryan. Mike was diagnosed with Stage 4 Brain Cancer in September of 2021 at the age of 55. He and his family have been battling this terminal illness for almost a year. This came as a sudden shock to both his family and friends. Mike underwent two brain surgeries over the months in New York. Due to this horrific incurable cancer he has been rendered unable to communicate and has been paralyzed on his right side.

Mike is known to many as "Mooney" Ryan. He was born in Jersey City and moved to Point Pleasant in 2002. He is married to Susan Ryan and is the proud father of Shane Ryan who is 17 and will be a Senior at Point Boro HS in September. Mike was an all-star Athlete at Hudson Catholic High School in Jersey City, class of 83. He is most well-known for his basketball career in HS and at Seton Hall. He has passed down his talent to Shane who is a varsity basketball player at the Boro. Many say Shane's game resembles his dad's.

Mike is now at a facility due to his condition and is in need of round-the-clock care. Money raised will be used for Mike's medical expenses as well as Shane's future and to assist the family with other outstanding expenses. As many say it takes a village to hold those up in need. Today we ask you to help hold up the Ryan Family. We thank you and please know that any donation regardless of the amount is very much appreciated by the Ryan’s.
