Dear friends, family and kind-hearted strangers,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out to share a piece of my journey with you, one that has been long and stressful. After undergoing surgery to remove a tumor that had taken root in my spinal cord, I have been diagnosed with spinal cord cancer. While the diagnosis is challenging, I remain determined to face it with strength and unwavering optimism.

As I'm going through radiation treatment, I find myself confronted with the reality of mounting medical bills and the necessity of taking time off work to focus on my health. It's been a tough pill to swallow, knowing that the financial strain adds another layer of stress to an already difficult situation.

In the face of adversity, I strive to remain grateful for the blessings in my life - the love and support of my friends and family, a work family that has been extremely accommodating, the care of my new medical team, and all the little things that make a man's life worth living.

That's where you come in! I'm humbly asking for your support during this challenging time. Your generous donations will help me cover essential expenses, from medical bills to everyday necessities, and alleviate the financial burden of missed work.

No contribution is too small, and every dollar brings me one step closer to beating cancer and reclaiming my health. Your kindness and generosity mean more to me than words can express, and I am endlessly grateful for your support on this journey.

I'm hoping to finally overcome this obstacle and emerge stronger on the other side. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing by my side during this difficult time. Your love, prayers, and kind words give me hope and inspire me to keep pushing every day.

With deepest gratitude,

Drew Phipps
