Hey there, I'm Jake and I am putting this fundraising campaign together for the best man I know, my dad. He does not know I am doing this. And because he doesn't use social media, he won't. And FYI, I was limited on pictures I could find, this one was the best I could come up with.

For those that don't know, almost 2 years ago he was diagnosed with a form of Leukemia. There is a technical name but it's long and nobody remembers it. Because my dad isn't always forthcoming with how he's doing or anything, I've waited on doing something like this.

After receiving his diagnosis in 2022, the doctors quickly got chemotherapy going. All things went according to plan and fairly typical outcomes (hair loss) and at one point bowel movements didn't happen for a week or so. Once past the chemo, it was then looking for a stem cell donor. Fortunately, I was able to be his stem cell donor! January 2023, the stem cell transplant happened. It has now been a little over a year since the transplant and things look good but still a ways to go. There are many highs and lows over these last few years but the one unwavering thing is my dads humor and he takes this cancer battle one day at a time. I will say he does get grumpy (he's always kinda grumpy anyway) at times but we all would given the circumstance.

For those that have gone through this personally or a loved one has, you all know the medications, appointments and whatever else that comes up in treatment adds up quickly. My wish is this is an opportunity for people to show and say that "we care, we hope, we support and we love you" to a man that has done so much for others and never asked for anything in return.

Feel free to pass this on to those like my dad that don't have social media :-)

Much love!
