Hello, it is with a heavy heart that I am reaching out for help. I am asking my wrestling family, my church family, and anyone who has ever been negatively impacted by cancer to help support Bill Erwin and his family in this time of need. Please share if you know him or feel led. I hope this message reaches across the country.

Bill makes his living mostly on the wrestling mat as a referee and on the girls' softball circuit too. Just this February, Bill called his final state tournament at the old fairgrounds arena. He also has owned his own roofing company and I know has helped many others along his journey. Now he can't work and, like most of us, can't miss several months of income. Bill is fighting but please consider helping financially now.

Many will know that Bill is my lifelong friend from the University of Central Oklahoma. We wrestled together. He is like a brother and he was diagnosed with an ultra-aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Bill and Lisa went to MD Anderson last month and he started chemo. But as the doctor says, the cancer is faster than the chemo. Unfortunately, he went into the hospital last Tuesday and has been at St. Francis in Tulsa for a week with declining health.

Prayers are very welcomed and Bill has a wide network of believers praying. However, all prayer is coveted. Please consider sharing what God has blessed you with with. Keep fighting, Bill! Love you brother!
