Help Don live to 40!!

Donation protected
Don is a wonderful person and dear friend who has been afflicted for life with a horrible disease known as "Bills Mafiatis".  Even with this horrible condition he has been able to go on and live a normal life until this past August.  That is when he found out that his recent stomach pain was actually much more serious than "Late Night Taco Bell runs" and was actually Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer

His cancer is extremely aggressive and doctors have given him less than a year to live.  The 5-year survival rate for people with pancreatic cancer is only 8%.  Knowing this Don decided to face this head on and has already started aggressive Chemo treatments in hopes of having as much time left as possible and now needs help to continue this fight.  He has just finished his 4th Chemo treatment, and as treatment progresses his co-pays and expenses are starting to add up and soon his disability checks will be shrinking. 

Therefore, to help ease this burden we have set a very large goal.  The money raised will be used to keep Don's treatments going and keep his bills and living expenses paid.  Any amount donated will greatly help ease the worry of debt and is greatly appreciated. 

Don is one of the strongest people I know and will fight this as long as he is able to and maybe even make it to 40 with your support.  Help Don make it to his 40th birthday and Kick Cancer square in the Nuts!!
