Help Cliff Hall beat AML

Cliff was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He is currently undergoing intensive chemotherapy treatments in Boston, under the care of top doctors from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The diagnosis came as a shock to all of us that know and love Cliff. He is going to have the fight of his life on his hands.

Cliff is an amazing father, husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Whether you know him from the soccer fields, cheering on his son Cliff, or cheering on his daughter Mary at her dancing competitions, or from his years of hosting soccer tournaments in his backyard, you know that Cliff is a hardworking, compassionate, and selfless family man, who is always there in support of others, for whatever they need. Right now, Cliff needs us. It's our time to be there for him.

We don't know what the future brings, but we know this: we want to be sure that Cliff and his family do not have the added burden of dealing with financial stressors while Cliff is out of work, and while his wife, Elena, is out of work to be by his side throughout his fight. He needs his only focus to be taking on this battle and winning it.

Even with health insurance, medical treatments and hospital stays, especially while both partners will be losing part of their income base, can be financially burdensome. Anything you are able to contribute would be greatly appreciated. If we can alleviate any of Cliff's burdens during this terribly trying time, we want to do this, for Cliff.
