Travis Smith Landt, the son of Shane and Sandy Heck Landt, the late Bart Smith, Heidi (Jim) Annear, and brother to Aaron (Tricia) Landt, Jared (Kate) Landt, Shannon (Chris) Junk, Jake (Keri) Smith and Katie (Jake) Sargent has been battling health problems for some time. Several months ago he began experiencing severe headaches and some short term memory problems. Travis immediately sought medical care and has been undergoing multiple diagnostic tests (MRI’s, CT Scans) and evaluations by specialized physicians (oncologists, neurologist, neuro-surgeons). He was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Most recently he underwent a brain tumor biopsy and is now awaiting the pathology results and the corresponding treatment plan.
As Travis has maneuvered this journey, he has kept his sense of humor and demonstrated incredible spirit and love of life. He has carried this burden with humbled hopefulness and approached each step with purpose and a positive attitude. He hasn’t complained or asked for help. His burden is much more than managing the multiple tests, the brain biopsy and the unknown treatment to come. His burden also comes with a price tag. With high deductible insurance, many co-payments and now the inability to work, he is carrying an unknown clinical future and a potentially catastrophic financial future. Travis has incredible pride and it has taken a lot of convincing to get him to agree to allow us post this “go fund me” page on his behalf. He is a man of strong convictions and doesn’t want any “handouts”. However, we have finally gotten him to understand that all of his friends and family want to do something- anything- to help fight this battle. Being as none of us are oncologists or brain surgeons – the “something” we can do is try to ease his financial strain.
Please consider donating to Travis to help in his health care expenses. No donation is too small or too large. These donations will ease the challenges Travis has faced to this point as well as the challenges to come. If you have no means to give, your prayers and warm wishes are still welcomed and very much appreciated.
It is with love in our hearts and our love of life that we (Travis and his family and friends) thank each of you for contributing to this fund.
