I am Brian Kourofsky and i'm trying to raise some money for a close friend that is battling cancer.  My Friend Butch is the most caring and honest person I know.  His calm nature and his kind heart are second to no one.  We are trying to raise enough money for him to take a hunting or fishing trip after his 3rd run of treatments in August.  He starts Chemo this week. We are looking to raise this money before the first of June.  This is about bringing a smile to a face that has been thru a very rough time lately.  Medical expences have been piling up and with treatments it's hard for him to work.  He has worked as an excavator operator in the Albany NY area, his whole life.  Myself and his family would be overwhelmed if we can make some sort of trip work for him.  If the trip doesn't work out, at least he will have some of this money for the extensive medical expences.
