Help Mika Battle Stage 4 Cancer

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

We are reaching out to you today with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit. Mika Immonen, a renowned figure in the world of pool and billiards, has been diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer with a tumor 23cm long. Mika has inspired many of us with his skill, determination, and passion for the game. Now, he faces the biggest battle of his life.

Mika’s journey with cancer has been a challenging one - carrying his pain from one country to another. He found himself in the ER in Japan but didn’t receive answers until landing in Costa Rica. Fortunately, he has a friend that is an oncologist who recognized the severity of the situation. Thank you Dr. Zeledon for your care and treatment of Mika. If it wasn’t for you - I am sure that Mika would not be here today.

And this tumor is unlike any other. It is pressing against the sacrum and hits a lot of nerves. For weeks he would only get an hour or so of sleep. With medication and chemotherapy, some of that pain has dulled but it’s still there. You can hear it in his voice. In spite of it all, Mika’s fighting spirit remains unbroken.

However, the medical expenses are mounting, and this is where we need your help. Costa Rica is a beautiful country but it is not home and all costs are out-of-pocket. Mika had surgery to put in an IV port and started his chemo treatment on December 11th - first of many to come. We hope to return home to New York once Mika’s state of health allows him to fly. We have started this GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to support Mika’s medical care, including treatments, surgeries, and any other related expenses.

We know it’s going to be long road for Mika but he doesn’t have to go on it alone. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a significant difference in Mika’s fight against cancer. It’s not just a contribution; it’s a gesture of support, love, and hope for someone who has always strived to be the best in his field.

Please share this message with your network and let’s show Mika the same strength and support he has always shown in his career. Together, we can make a difference in his life during this challenging time.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Let’s rally for Mika and help him win this battle!

With lots of love and hope,
Mee and Laura (Mika’s mum)
