Hi, I’m Mary, Rip’s daughter. Most of you may know him, some maybe not. So you may already know what a great guy he is. At his age, he is still kicking it behind the bar, slinging out drinks at his beloved job. He is an amazing and fun grandpa, the most supportive guy you could ask for, someone that would give you the shirt off his back, but also just an all-around funny, life-of-the-party man!

Well, as some of you may know, the Ripster has been going through it. In September, he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and since then has been going through chemo treatments. Unfortunately, these treatments make him feel awful, which makes it very difficult for him to work. With holidays upon us and growing medical bills, money can be tight. I am raising money to help cover expenses at home as well as bills so he can focus all his effort on kicking cancer's ass.
