<div>Dear friends,
</div>
<div>While I may have seemed OK for quite some time, I was most recently diagnosed with a very highly aggressive form of prostate cancer. It's the kind that requires equally aggressive treatment and I have begun that process. (Get your check-ups!).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Part of my treatment includes Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) later to be followed by radiation treatment. While it's necessary, it comes with some difficult side effects - significant fatigue, muscle mass loss, and decreased bone density. In simple terms, it has taken a real toll on my strength and stamina.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of this, I've had to step down from my full-time job as assistant manager at Planet Fitness becoming part time. As much as I wanted to push through and maintain my regular schedule until camp, I simply no longer have the physical endurance to handle the demands and stress of a full-time management role. This change has resulted in a significant reduction in both my hours and pay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most of you know me well enough to know that I've never been in this line of work for the money. At heart, I am just a summer camp counselor – grateful and by choice - and I've always lived pretty much paycheck to paycheck. I've never minded that lifestyle, but this diagnosis and the sudden cut in income have made this especially challenging.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, I'm asking for help to get through the next couple of months while I focus on treatment and recovery just before I return to Kabeyun where I anticipate being fully engaged. Any support whether financial or simply sharing this page would mean more than I can fully express.
</div>
<div>Please know that your kindness, support and encouragement are deeply appreciated with sincere gratitude…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With thanks and love,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeff
