Many know our dad, Denny Cron, from Heelan football, Dowling football, the Walnut Creek YMCA, sports talk radio, or as our favorite title, dad and grandpa.

Our dad has coached and taught hundreds of high school athletes during his career. In addition, he's a fixture at the Walnut Creek YMCA where he's exercised and worked for many years. Through his efforts, many people have achieved their own athletic, fitness, or health goals.

You may also know him for his endless stream of jokes and trivia knowledge.

Regardless of where you've crossed his path, we are asking for your help. Our dad is facing heart surgery and will be unable to work during his recovery. The surgeons are working out the final plan, but we want to help our dad have a strong recovery by alleviating some of the financial stress.

We are grateful for any donation you may be able to make. If you can't donate, please consider sharing our request.

Together, I know we can help "Coach Grandpa" have a healthy recovery.
