Help Gary and the Cote Family Fight Cancer

On September 24, 2021 the Cote's world was completely shaken. Gary was admitted to the hospital and after testing was given the diagnosis the family was afraid of, colon cancer which had metastasized to his lungs. Gary has had many scans, biopsies, and bloodwork. All of his records have been sent to Mayo for review. At this time he is not a candidate to go to Mayo.

Gary will begin his chemotherapy soon, and he will not be able to continue his work at UPS. Gary has been at UPS for 33 years and is well-known and loved by everyone on his Keweenaw County delivery route. Leaving UPS will be hard for Gary because he is such a social person, and also because he will have to lose his income while undergoing treatment.

Gary's treatment at this time will involve a midline port being inserted and treatment being administered weekly on a permanent basis.

We are hoping to get as much help as possible to help the Cote family with medical expenses and living expenses, so they will not have additional strain during this especially difficult time.
