Help Ernie Shoemaker in His Fight Against Cancer

Ernie Shoemaker is so much more than a colleague — he’s a friend to many, a mentor to several, and an inspiration to everyone who has had the privilege of knowing him. For me, he’s been all of these and more.

He is also a loving husband to Trudy, a devoted father to his son Brad, and a true legend in the eyes of countless people whose lives he has touched throughout his remarkable career.

Recently, Ernie received devastating news — he has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in multiple areas of his body. The good news? Ernie is ready for the fight of his life. His courage, strength, and determination are unwavering.

While his insurance will cover most of the treatment cost, the reality is that this journey will probably involve several out-of-pocket costs. By contributing, you’ll help lift a heavy burden so that Ernie can focus on what matters most — spending time with his family and beating cancer.

If you can find it in your heart to support Ernie and his family during this challenging time, please consider making a donation. No amount is too small, and every gesture of kindness will make a difference.

Let’s come together to help Ernie kick cancer’s butt — just as he’s cheered on so many of us in our own challenges over the years.
