Come together for Brad

Donation protected
We are devastated in learning that our dear friend, Brad Michael, has been diagnosed with leukemia. The official name is B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Philadelphia Positive. It has all happened very fast, and is an aggressive form of leukemia.

He started Chemotherapy on 4/10 and
will remain in the hospital for at least 3 weeks for his first round. He will have to be admitted to the hospital for each subsequent round of chemo (each lasting approximately 21 days). The current plan is 8 rounds of chemo in hopes of sending him into remission. If he does not reach remission, there is the possibility that he would need a bone marrow transplant. This would be done in conjunction with their teaching hospital in Oregon, OHSU.

Brad is an engaging and positive human, always sharing a healthy dose of humor. His laughter is a gift from the universe.
He is a father of two sweet girls, Alice (4) and Annie (2). He is very involved in their lives and is a constant source of light, love, and laughter for them. His wife, Lane, is a nurse and is also one of the most genuine and loving humans you’d ever meet. To come to know them is a privilege and an honor.

They have a difficult fight ahead of them. In addition to the physical and mental hardships they will face, financial hardship is inevitable. However, we can all come together to soften this aspect of the process for them. Please donate whatever you can to help this family through this incredibly challenging time.
