Edward "Ed" Hartmann... Over the past 23 years I have worked in the telecom industry holding such titles as safety manager, operations manager, project manager, foreman, and tower hand.

In November of 2014, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Despite having a colon resection and 4 months of chemotherapy, the cancer has matastesized to my liver and peritoneum, making my condition inoperable.

My wife and I have a blended family for a total of 6 kids combined. They range in age from 3-21 with four of them living at home.

In addition to the medical bills that are piling up, we are in need of funds to help with further, more aggressive treatment.
