<div><strong>Help Olympian, Father and Coach Tony Goskowicz Fight Stage IV Cancer!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While the Olympic speedskating world looks ahead to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Games, one of its own is fighting the battle of his life. Tony Goskowicz – a beloved coach and 1994 Winter Olympian, has recently been diagnosed with stage IV adenocarcinoma of the lung, a serious form of cancer. Instead of focusing on the ice this Olympic season, Tony is focusing on survival. We, his friends and supporters (with Tony’s blessing), have come together to launch this fundraiser. Our goal is to raise enough funds to support Tony across the finish line.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Two weeks ago, Tony underwent emergency surgery on his spine where the cancer had spread. Since that time, he has been recovering in the hospital while awaiting test results and a treatment plan to be put in place. Tony will require significant physical therapy to get back on his feet, even as he begins chemotherapy to treat his disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tony’s treatment plan is all-encompassing and personalized. <strong>He is pursuing every possible avenue</strong> to combat this disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Important: </strong>Tony’s father, Brad Goskowicz, is the designated beneficiary of this fundraiser and will manage all donations in a separate account on Tony’s behalf. This arrangement helps support the continuity of Tony’s care and services, allowing him to focus solely on healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>1. Donate:</strong> Any amount, big or small, makes a difference. Whether you can give $20 or $200, every contribution is a show of support for Tony. If you have the means, consider a larger gift or a recurring monthly donation – cancer is a marathon, not a sprint, and sustained support is incredibly helpful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>2. Spread the Word:</strong> Please share this GoFundMe page with your friends, family, teammates, and on social media. Tony has touched so many lives in the speedskating and Olympic community – let’s make sure everyone hears that he needs help. Use email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and word of mouth to amplify Tony’s story. The more people who know, the quicker we’ll reach our goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>3. Send Encouragement:</strong> Leave a message for Tony here on the fundraiser page. We will make sure he sees all your comments. Your words of encouragement, memories of Tony, or prayers for his healing mean the world to him. Tony has always been the first to cheer on others; hearing your cheers now will keep his spirits high on the tough days.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>4. Join #TeamTony:</strong> If you’re part of the speedskating or Olympic sports family, consider rallying your club, team, or organization to support Tony. Perhaps hold a skate-a-thon, a fundraiser meet or dedicate a race to him. This winter Olympic season let’s show that the Olympic spirit is also about community and taking care of our own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finally, we understand that times are tough for many, and not everyone can donate. Simply sharing Tony’s story or keeping him in your thoughts and prayers is greatly appreciated. Every act of support counts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Tony has spent decades helping others reach their podium – now it’s our turn to help him conquer this illness.</strong> He is approaching this fight with the heart of a champion. Let’s rally around Tony just as he has rallied around so many athletes over the years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On behalf of Tony, his friends, and all who love him, thank you for your support. Together, we can give Tony the strength and resources to beat the odds. Keep an eye on this page for updates on Tony’s journey, progress, and milestones (we’ll be posting regular updates below).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deepest gratitude,
</div>
<div>Friends of Team Tony
</div>
