RISE WITH RUSTY: Rusty's Battle Against Rare Cancer

Support Rusty’s Fight Against Cancer

Rusty Lofthouse is a devoted husband, father of six, wrestling coach, and the heart behind his family’s farm. His life has been built on hard work, love, and dedication—to his family, his community, the countless kids he has mentored through coaching and all those he interacts with in his lines of work.

Recently, Rusty was diagnosed with Atypical Mixed Desmoplastic Melanoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. While he awaits final pathology results for staging, he and his family are exploring every possible route for healing, focusing on a holistic approach that aligns with their deep-rooted values.

Between medical expenses, alternative treatments, and the challenges of balancing work and health, the financial burden is growing. As someone who has always shown up for others, Rusty now needs a community to rally around him.

Every donation, big or small, will help cover treatment costs, support his healing journey, and provide for his family as they navigate this new season & challenging time. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Rusty in your prayers is just as meaningful & deeply appreciated.

To follow along with Rusty’s journey and receive frequent updates, his wife, Natalie, will be sharing on Instagram @thenatalielofthouse.

For those interested in supporting through our online auction—whether by bidding or donating items/services—you can also follow @RiseWithRusty on Instagram

Let’s come together to support a man who has given so much to others. Thank you for rising with Rusty and his family in this fight.
