Our dear friend Gray, just 28 years old, is facing the fight of his life.
He was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor located on his brain stem — an incredibly serious condition that will require 1-2 major brain surgeries, followed by extensive rehabilitation and radiation treatment. The road ahead is long, and the physical, emotional, and financial toll will be immense.
Gray is one of the most hard-working, dedicated people you’ll ever meet. He works in the radio industry and always brings an unmatched energy to everything he does. He’s full of life, laughter, and an unwavering faith — the kind of person who makes everyone around him feel seen, supported, and loved.
He’s a loyal friend, a bright light in any room, and someone who truly cares about others. He loves his family deeply, lights up talking about Disney, loves going on adventures, and finds peace and joy in the great outdoors.
Now it’s our turn to be there for him.
The truth is, no one is ever prepared for something like this — especially not someone so young, so full of life, and so selfless. The costs of surgery, treatment, time away from work, and ongoing rehab are overwhelming, and that’s where we’re hoping our community can step in.. Every donation — no matter the amount — will go directly toward helping Gray and his family focus on what matters most: his healing and recovery.
If you’re not in a position to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping Gray in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for showing up for someone who has always shown up for others. Let’s help Gray through this — together.
