Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support for our beloved Coach Bruce Jeffrey, who is courageously battling sarcoma cancer. Bruce, a dedicated coach, friend, and family man, has touched countless lives with his kindness, leadership, and service to his community. Now, he and his family need our help to face this challenging time.

Bruce was recently admitted to Tampa General Hospital (TGH), the leading hospital for sarcoma treatment, where he is in the care of a sarcoma specialist. A recent biopsy confirmed sarcoma cancer in his lungs and a large mass in his liver. Bruce will begin treatment immediately and doctors may surgically remove part of the liver mass due to its size. Additionally, tests revealed blood clots and heart concerns, which are being closely monitored. Bruce is experiencing pain when sitting or standing, though he’s resting comfortably when lying down.

The emotional and financial toll on Bruce’s wife, Mary, and daughter, Ashley, is immense. They’ve been by his side through long nights at the hospital, advocating for his care and ensuring he eats to regain strength. Medical bills, travel to and from TGH, and ongoing treatment costs are adding up quickly. Your support will help cover these expenses, allowing Bruce to focus on healing and his family to stay strong without the added burden of financial stress.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference, but we need your prayers the most. Funds will go toward:

• Medical bills, including biopsies, potential surgery, and treatment

• Travel and accommodation for hospital visits

• Nutritional support and care to help Bruce regain strength

• Easing the financial strain so Mary and Ashley can focus on supporting Bruce

Bruce has always been there for his community, including his students, athletes, and friends alike with his big and kind heart. Now, it’s our turn to rally around him. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign to help Coach Bruce fight this battle with the strength and love he’s always shown us.

We believe strongly in the power of prayer, and we ask you to keep Bruce and his family in yours daily. As it says in Psalm 30:2, “Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.” Your prayers and support give us hope and strength during this difficult time.

Thank you for your generosity and prayers. We’ll keep you updated on Bruce’s progress as he fights to come home stronger.

With gratitude,

Mary, Ashley, and the Jeffrey Family
