My name is Cody Rudd and I have been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I'm 52 and otherwise in good health. I'm unable to work, yet we have bills.

I have 4-6 months to live without chemo, and 14-? with chemo. I've decided to do the chemo. I have a loving fiance and an 8-year-old little girl.

The donation will be used for mortgage, bills, gas, and car maintenance for traveling to Henry Ford in Detroit, hospital bills, and prescriptions. I have a lot on my mind; sometimes it can get very overwhelming.

If you can't afford to donate, please share it with as many people as you can. People may have had an experience in their lives that they can understand. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Time is a precious thing. - Cody
