Rally around Ryan Clapp

Those who know Ryan (Moose) Clapp know that he is a true friend, great husband, awesome father, determined provider, and has a faith in God that doesn’t seem to waiver.
For those who don’t know, Ryan is a cancer survivor. In 2008 Ryan was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and would go on to fight it and win. He is ten years out - cancer free and we are sooo thankful for that!

It seems cancer was only the beginning of issues Ryan would face. His gallbladder has failed, kidney stones cause horrible trouble, and radiation treatments left him with horrible body pain (neuropathy) that he’s had ever since.
But Ryan’s most dangerous issue he faces is sever lymphedema (swelling) in his right leg. If you’ve seen him, you are aware that his right leg is huge and affects his walking. Ryan has had many cellulitis infections in his right leg, some so bad it puts him in ICU because he’s turned septic - the infection gets in his blood. Ryan has seen a few Doctors that have helped the best they know how, but nothing seems to be a great fix. This swelling has affected Ryan’s life and has reduced his quality of life and ability to enjoy simple things. Our family has braced ourselves too many times for fear that he wouldn’t survive another flare.

Ryan is a strong fighter! He’s made it this far! I believe for good reason!

Thankfully, we have found a Specialist in Dallas that has the answers and procedures that will be life changing for Ryan. Finally a Doctor who understands what Ryan is going through!!!

To travel and pay the co-pays, deductible, hotels, etc. will be a burden that seems insurmountable at this point, but we know that God will make a way! Please help us get Ryan to the Specialist he needs. 

We are so excited, and hopeful! We appreciate the prayers and support anyone has to offer.

Ryan’s 1st Dr visit is August 20th!
