I am Luanne (my family calls me Shari) and my cousin Kurt was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We are trying to help him raise funds to cover medical costs. Since we were kids, Kurt has been my dance partner. Shaggy is part of the soundtrack of our relationship- really anything to do with dancing and music is part of our relationship. Because of that I am going to say that Kurt is doing a "paso doble" with this cancer! He is fighting it the way he knows how- natural and nutritious foods and supplements, rest when the pain is not too bad, meditation and nature, and of course music.

We have set up this GoFundMe campaign with an open heart. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly towards covering medical bills, specialized care, and all those unforeseen expenses that have become a part of Kurt's new reality. More than just financial help, your support sends a powerful message: that in our community of friends, family, and kind strangers, Kurt is not alone in this fight. We all join in the dance!

Thank you for reading our story. Please share our campaign, offer your prayers, and consider donating to help bring hope and healing into Kurt’s life. Together, we can be the strength he needs amid this battle and help pave the way toward brighter days.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Shari (Luanne)
