Kicking Kidney Cancer for Bill (The Dude) !!
Donation protected
For anyone who knows our fun-loving brother Bill Allard, you may agree what a compassionate, hardworking, and dedicated faith driven soul he is. What some may not know, Billy is one of the best Country line dance instructors out there. Most of his line dancers know him as “DUDE” as he teaches dancing almost 6 days a week. Billy is known to also donate his time as a member and volunteer to a few different charities, such as the Knights of Columbus, the Elks, and the Jaycees. He also participates in the collection of aluminum cans for the blind with the Lyons club and just always being there for anyone, anytime. We had even come to find out, but are not surprised to hear, Bill spent a weekend down at a New York church during 9/11 donating his time to helping others. That’s Bill!! With a warm smile across his face, no matter what!
With all that being said, now Bill needs our help. Last Saturday Bill took a fall and was rushed to the emergency room in severe pain. You hope for the best, but unfortunately, he has received a diagnosis that no one saw coming. Bill has been diagnosed with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, or Kidney Cancer. The mass they found is 10 cm and inoperable. It has spread to his Pelvic bone which has caused Bill to become somewhat immobile, and for the most part in extreme pain when he tries to walk.
Thankfully, Bill has returned home, one week from his admittance to the hospital. Bill will have a very long road ahead. Between Immunotherapy treatments and rehab to learn to walk to the best of his ability again, the physical and mental stress will be a challenge, but the burden of his medical expenses will be extreme. To add to Bill’s story, his loving wife Diane of almost 29 years is dealing with MS on a daily bases, which has resulted in her becoming permanently disabled. Diane and Bill solely depend on Bill’s income to support their family and for obvious reasons, Bill will not be able to return to work any time soon.
Our wish and hopes are to see our brother Bill in those cowboy boots and up on that dance floor, calling out the moves just like he has for many years along with that big-hearted smile he gives to everyone!!
We ask you to consider supporting Bill and Diane during this very difficult time in their lives. These funds will help to defer medical expenses and the physical therapy he will need to make use of his leg again. Most of all we ask that you keep Bill and Diane in your prayers and we thank you for your consideration!
Sincerely,
Family, Friends and Cowboys & Sweethearts!
