Joe's Support Fund for Multiple Myeloma Cancer

Dear friends and family of Joe, Bruna and the whole Burns family,

I thought to create this fundraiser to support them as they journey through the devastating diagnosis of an active Multiple Myeloma cancer.

Multiple Myeloma is an incurable cancer, but it can be treated. It forms in plasma cells, which help to make antibodies that fight infections. Cancerous plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow and crowd out healthy blood cells. The disease can damage the bones, immune system, kidneys, and red blood cell count.

Joe is the proud dad of 2 wonderful, loving children. His sons are Leo (soon to be 7-year-old) and Levi (3-years-old). These two beautiful souls are his and Bruna's WORLD, and they are theirs.

All this love, support, and cheerleading will certainly boost Joe's spirits through the long treatment ahead; however, the cost of treating this type of cancer is astronomical.

Currently, the plan is for Joe to receive weekly chemo treatments at the Mayo clinic in Rochester. This young family is now facing to have a very high and constantly fluctuating out-of-pocket medical and prescription bills, over-the-counter drugs and supplements for his treatments.

Joe has great friends and family standing by him and a world-class medical team leading his treatment, but financial support from his community of friends and colleagues will help him make it through this challenging journey.

Your contribution will directly support Joe’s costs related to Multiple Myeloma, allowing him to concentrate on the tough physical and mental challenges ahead.

Please keep them in your prayers and THANK YOU for being amongst Joe’s many cheerleaders -- we know the community he has built over the years is standing by him and his beautiful family in this fight.
