❤️ Help John Fight Stage 4 Lymphoma and Get Back on the Road Again

Hi everyone,

I’m fundraising for John Balicki — a proud, hardworking man with the heart and strength of a true biker. He’s now fighting the biggest battle of his life: Stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

John’s Fight

John has always been fiercely independent. He’s the kind of man who works with his hands, handles his responsibilities without complaint, and helps others long before asking for anything himself. Seeing him brought to his knees by this aggressive cancer has been devastating.

His diagnosis came after the cancer had already spread into his bone marrow, damaging his left arm and causing so much structural weakness that he required a major operation to place rods and pins in his hip, femur, and tibia of his left leg. Without that surgery, walking — or even standing — might not have been possible.

But the cancer didn’t stop there. It has since spread to his colon, his spinal fluid, and the retina of his right eye, making his treatment more complex and urgent.

️ A Biker’s Heart

If you know John, you know his Road King isn’t just a motorcycle — it’s part of his soul. Riding gives him freedom, purpose, and peace.

Not being out on his bike these past few months has been incredibly hard on him. Through surgeries, treatments, and pain, he keeps saying the same thing:

“I just want to ride again.”

That dream is what keeps him pushing through the hardest days, and it’s one we’re fighting to make possible.

How Your Support Helps

The emotional toll is heavy, and the financial strain has become overwhelming. Between surgeries, chemotherapy, hospital stays, medications, travel to specialists, and everyday bills, we cannot do this alone.

Your support will help with:

Medical bills and intensive cancer treatments

Post-surgery rehabilitation & home equipment

Medications and emergency procedures

Travel costs for operations, treatments, specialist appointments, and parking garage fees

Living expenses while John focuses on getting stronger

How You Can Make a Difference

If you’re able, no amount is too small. We absolutely appreciate every single prayer asking for God's grace and healing. Sharing this fundraiser helps more than you can imagine. Every bit of support lifts a weight off John and brings him closer to healing and, one day, getting back on his bike.

From My Heart

John is the toughest man I know — stubborn, proud, and full of heart. Watching him fight this battle with so much courage has been both painful and inspiring. I just want him to have the chance to recover without the crushing burden of day to day finances.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting John during the hardest chapter of his life. Your kindness gives him strength — and brings him one mile closer to the open road again.

With love and gratitude,

Ashley
