Help Patrick’s Fight with Lymphoma

Hi, Emily here. I never thought I’d be drafting the following sentence, but I wanted to reach out to friends and family who were wanting to help my big brother, Patrick, who recently was diagnosed with lymphoma. While this news has paralyzed our whole family, there is one thing we all know about Patrick—if there is a fight, and my brother is involved, there is no question who will win.

I should also highlight that anyone who knows Patrick, knows how stubborn and private he is, especially about matters like the one we are facing. He would be livid at me asking for help, but during times like this, I know he has an army of people who want to support him. So he’s just going to have to get over it ❤️

Please feel free to share this link with anyone who loves Patrick and wants to contribute to his fight. These funds will help Patrick and Jessica with medical bills, childcare, travel accommodations, and any other unforeseen expenses. My only ask, to keep this as private within reason, is to refrain from posting publicly on social media and keep the sharing to emails/direct contacts, etc. Additionally, please be conscious of reaching out directly to Patrick as he is already overwhelmed by the road he has ahead

I will be using this link as well to streamline communication about Patrick’s progress and updates to mitigate Jessica and my parents from having to respond to one offs (this has been incredibly hard for us all to talk about). Please reach out if you have any questions or need additional information.

Love you all. We are all behind you Patrick.
