My name is Andrew Ketch and am raising funds to help support my mother Deborah Tardy’s battle with a very rare cancer called Conventional Chordoma. Chordoma is diagnosed in just 1 in 1,000,000 people per year. That means that about 300 patients are diagnosed with chordoma each year in the United States, and about 700 in all of Europe. At any given time, fewer than 1 in 100,000 people are living with chordoma. My mother has already been through many tests, x-rays, etc locally up here and all treatment and future surgery has been moved to Boston. Upon completion of surgery to remove the cancerous tumor she will require 5 weeks or more of treatment down in Boston. I am raising funds to help cover the costs for traveling to appointments in Boston and for the long stay she has ahead of her. I appreciate any help you may be able to give and please share this across the world. My mother is an important part of our family and farm. Thank you in advance for all your help.
