Join Charlie’s Army and help his Fight Against Brain Cancer

Dear friends and family,

We are writing this on behalf of our brother and best friend Rico. He is Charlie Pascale, or Coach Charlie to most, but for as long as we can remember, he’s been our brother and best friend Rico.

As many of you are already aware, life has thrown Charlie an immeasurable challenge that he, his wife Tina, and his 3 children can’t face alone. On August 8th, Charlie was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer that will require extensive treatment and a fight unlike any other. The road ahead is going to have an immense impact on him and his family, but we won’t let him fight this fight alone.

For anyone who knows Charlie, they have been lucky enough to witness his unwavering passion, toughness, and competitive spirit. His dedication to his family, sports teams, coaching, mentoring, volunteering at the firehouse, volunteering his time as a Norwood councilman, and never missing a sporting event for his nieces and nephews exemplifies his selfless nature and makes him deserving of the unwavering support he needs during this time.

Charlie’s competitive nature is truly what makes him a winner!

With that said, we all know he’s going to fight with every fiber of his being to defeat cancer and never look back. But he is going to need his army behind him the whole way! Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant of the immune system. Love heals, and miracles happen every day.

Charlie will begin treatment next week and as you can imagine, the emotional and financial toll is significant. Between medical expenses, time away from work, and the costs of everyday life, this journey will need lots of financial support.

We humbly ask that everyone share Charlie’s story, and if able, please make a donation to help Charlie and his family navigate this battle, relieve their stress, and allow him to focus solely on his treatment and his healing.

Peace & Love,

Jimmy Pitts & Nick Pascale
