Help Chris leave a legacy for his family

Chris' story begins when he was 2 1/2 and was dealt a difficult card... he was diagnosed with a neuroblastoma which was removed surgically at UCLA medical center. While battling the illness, he was given a blood transfusion which gave him Hepatitis C, thus causing the liver cancer he is now facing The liver cancer diagnosis was given in July 2020, just a short month ago. Tragically, Chris was told he has about 6 months left to live.

At age 19 he met Christina. He made her look twice because not only was he handsome, but she just knew there was something special about him. They haven't looked back since. They were married on Christina's 25th birthday and Chris turned 25 just 5 days later. 

Chris and Christina have 7 children: Johnathan (22), Connor (20), Teagan (19), Miles (16), Thomas (13), Christina (9), Molly Kate (4).

Chris has been a hard-working father, husband and provider, completely devoted to supporting his family. He's a lifelong 49ers fan and was involved with coaching his kids in football, basketball and soccer.

My path crossed with Chris' in 1986 when we both attended Notre Dame High School. Chris was quiet and sweet and never acted like most other guys his age. We lost track after school but thanks to Facebook, we were able to reconnect. We have chatted periodically throughout the years on social media. Still a kind, sweet caring man... just like the kid I remember from high school. His love and dedication for his family was evident since day one. I am honored to call him a friend and I think most people who know Chris feel the same way.

Christina said to me that if she knew at age 19 that Chris would be facing this terminal diagnosis, she would absolutely without a doubt do it all over again. Christina said it has been an honor and a privilege to be his wife and raise these 7 amazing human beings at his side.

It takes a village and now Chris, his wife and children need their village to pull together and help them in any way we can. Please, PLEASE take a moment and donate ANY amount you can. Every cent collected will go directly to the family to help support them as they face this uncertainty. Life can be so unfair sometimes, but together we can show them the very best of humanity.
