Help Ryan Kick Cancer's . . .

Hello!

My name is Kayla, and I am Ryan Neils' sister-in-law. I couldn't ask for a better brother-in-law. Anyone who knows Ryan knows that he is an amazing person. Ryan wouldn't hesitate to help someone. He is so thoughtful and kind and is a wonderful partner to my sister, Anna. Ryan and Anna love being in nature. They have been hiking and camping all over Minnesota, and they share a dream of traveling the US in a bus that they are building together. They are best friends and support each other's dreams 100%.

About a year ago, a group of us traveled to Ireland to watch as Ryan & Anna exchanged vows on the Cliffs of Moher. It was such a beautiful expression of their love for each other. They had such high hopes for starting their life together, but cancer has thrown a wrench in their plans.

Shortly after returning from Ireland, Ryan started having a lot of abdominal pain. On September 1st, Ryan was diagnosed with cancer. Ryan started chemo shortly after, and the doctors felt like the chemo would put Ryan in remission. Unfortunately, Ryan's cancer has not been responding the way the doctors expected it to. He was referred to the Mayo Clinic and has been going through treatment there for about a month. Ryan is getting ready to have two bone marrow transplants, and we are praying that this will help Ryan finally kick cancer's A**!

Ryan and Anna have been experiencing many unexpected costs. Trips to the Mayo clinic mean hotel bills, paying for parking, gas, etc. Luckily, Anna's insurance has covered most of the medical bills, but some things still aren't covered and they just received a bill for around $10,000. Ryan is unable to return to work until the cancer is in remission. Anna has been working as much as she can but hasn't been able to return to work full-time as she is Ryan's caretaker. Ryan and Anna have been saving up for their dream of traveling all over the US, but those savings have already been used now for medical expenses.

The beginning of a marriage is usually one of the happiest times in a couple's life. Ryan and Anna have dealt with more in less than a year of marriage than many couples do in a lifetime. Our hope is that by raising some money to help with bills, it will relieve some of the stress that they have been dealing with.

Please consider helping Ryan and Anna by donating to this Go Fund Me. If you are unable to donate, prayers and sharing this fundraiser are also appreciated.

Thank you so much!
