Our Father's Battle: Fight Cancer with Love&Music

I come to you with a plea for help and support for our beloved father, Mitch, a pillar of strength and love in our family, and his unwavering faith in the Lord has guided us through every storm. Now, as he faces the biggest battle of his life, we are rallying together to support him in his fight against stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer.

Since his diagnosis in July 2023, Mitch has faced unimaginable challenges as the cancer spread to his pelvis, lymph nodes, hips, lower back, and neck. Despite undergoing radiation treatment and enduring severe pain, recent tests have revealed more cancerous spots in his back and a suspicion of gastrointestinal cancer. Our Father's love for music, especially playing drums in bands like Common Ancestor and Ignite, reflects his vibrant spirit and his joy in bringing people together. As his children, we're deeply grateful for the love and faith that has shaped our family motto: "Love Is the Way." Now, as he battles this formidable disease, we are in desperate need to help to ease the financial burden of medical bills, treatments, and hospice care. Your support will not only help Mitch's fight against cancer but will also allow us to prioritize his comfort and well-being during this challenging time.

In the face of adversity, we believe in the power of love and community. Your donations, prayers, and kind words mean the world to us and will make a significant difference in Mitch's fight against cancer. Thank you for standing by our family and being a source of strength and hope. "LOVE IS THE WAY!"

"He is the strongest person I've ever met. To endure what he's been through and still have so much capacity for love and inclusion. He constantly grows his family and circle of friends. He is the hub of a wheel that extends so very far and constantly radiates the message of love and peace. We all need him and we are all stronger because of him."
