Ral Patrick's Ongoing Fight

Ral was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme in 2018, an aggressive cancer that attacks the brain. He has undergone two brain surgeries, and multiple chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Thanks to his excellent medical team, and prayer and support from the community, Ral has far exceeded expectations. 

And the Patrick's have fully embraced this gift of time!  Time for family. Time for establishing a second Pat's. Time for Ral's retirement. Time for healing. Time for prayer. Throughout this time, Ral has remained steadfast in his faith: a beautiful witness to the dichotomies of life. A life filled with immense blessings and a life filled with tremendous suffering. With these two bookends, Ral has shown unwavering acceptance and relentless gratitude to God.

 

Recent biopsies and scans have proved that the cancer has returned. Ral, with his family, have explored all options provided to them and have decided to have another surgery to remove the tumor. While this surgery is riskier than the first, Ral is facing this with full surrender to God's will.

These circumstances present additional financial strain. We again prayerfully request that you join us in financially supporting Ral and Lisa. They are humbled with past assistance and remain humbled in the newest outreach for support. The combination of medical care and prayer is powerful and provides great hope. Please join us as we pray for healing, comfort and strength for Ral and his family.
