Help Dean Marry His Childhood Love While Battling Cancer

Donation protected

Some love stories are written in stone, but Dean and Michaela’s is one of resilience, devotion, and a love that defies even the cruellest of odds.

Dean Dunphy, a devoted partner, a loving father, and a cherished friend, has been diagnosed with stage IV brain cancer. In just a short time, this aggressive disease has robbed him of his speech and mobility—but it has not taken away his unwavering love for Michaela, the woman he has adored since childhood.




On May 6th, Dean and Michaela plan to fulfil their dream of becoming husband and wife and to create a forever bond that will carry them through this most difficult of times.

This fundraiser is about more than a wedding—it’s about giving Dean, Michaela, and their little girl Sloane a chance to celebrate their love for each other. It’s about easing the burden of mounting medical costs, helping with everyday bills, and ensuring that Michaela and their daughter have the support they need in the difficult road ahead.




Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to making this day possible. If you can’t donate, please share this campaign—your kindness and support will mean the world to this family.

Let’s come together to show that love is stronger than cancer. Let’s give Dean and Michaela the wedding they’ve dreamed of and the peace of mind they need in these heartbreaking times.

Please donate today.
