Scotty's fight to beat PROSTATE CANCER

Our friend Scott Miller has been diagnosed with Stage IV Prostate Cancer (January 23, 2020) and it has spread to various parts of his body.  A day we will never forget.  Scott is 54 years old.  January 24, 2020  Scott started his medications to control his pain.   His cancer treatments will begin in first week of February and although these treatments should slow or shrink his  cancer, stage 4 prostate cancer is not curable.  Still, these treatments can extend his life and reduce the signs and/or symptoms of his cancer and hopefully put it into remission.  Scott's diagnosis carries not only heavy weight emotionally, but financially as well.


For those of you who don’t know Scott, he has always been a FIGHTER, a positive influence for all of us.  He is a friend, a son, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, a leader and most importantly a husband, father and grandfather.  He is a man of great integrity, strength and courage. I am asking everyone to show your support for him, his wife Jill, son Cory and daughter Valerie.  As many of you know, there are a lot of medical bills and expenses that come with this journey, including his treatments, lodging and  transportation.  Scott is unable to work full time due to the traveling involved with the chemotherapy/radiation treatments, which doesn’t help with all these extra bills that will be piling up.


I am setting up this page to try to help take some of the financial stress off of his family.  Fighting cancer is hard work and a continuous battle.  Please consider a contribution to help him and his family during this difficult time.  We thank you for your support and continued prayers.  Please share with your friends and network.  Every contribution is welcomed and deeply appreciated.  Thanks again!
