Help Glen and Turi Fight Their Battle Against Cancer

Earlier this year, Glen Priest and his wife, Turi, received devastating news that changed their lives overnight. After a visit to the hospital for what they thought might be a heart issue, they discovered that Glen had a blockage in his carotid artery. During the tests that followed, doctors uncovered much more than they ever anticipated—eventually diagnosing Glen with stage 3B lung cancer and stage 3 tongue cancer.

Faced with the sudden need for intensive medical care, Glen had to leave his career and their home on the island. Turi worked tirelessly to pack up their lives in just a few short weeks, relocating to Washington to be by Glen’s side full-time and support his fight against this disease.

Today, their lives are a whirlwind of hospital visits, with Glen undergoing radiation five days a week and chemotherapy every Wednesday. The treatment has been grueling, leading to weight loss and the need for a feeding tube due to the radiation on his throat. Turi has become his dedicated caregiver, supporting Glen through every difficult day and encouraging him to keep fighting, even when things feel unbearably hard.

With both Glen and Turi unable to work, they have relied heavily on their savings just to make this move. But now, the ongoing costs of treatment, living expenses, and basic needs are becoming an impossible weight on their shoulders. They shouldn’t have to face these financial worries while already dealing with so much.

Any contribution you can make will go directly to helping ease their financial burden, allowing them to focus on Glen’s treatment and the hope of recovery. Whether it’s a donation or simply sharing their story, your support means the world to them.

Thank you for standing by Glen and Turi during this incredibly challenging time.
