Stand by Greg in His Cancer Battle

If you know Greg, you know what kind of man he is. The kind who quietly shows up. The kind who lends a hand before you even ask. The kind who makes the people around him feel steady, supported, and seen.

Now Greg needs us.

He’s facing an incredibly difficult battle: very advanced peritoneal mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. After losing his wife Lucy to cancer just last year, Greg is now raising their beautiful 8 year old daughter Anne while managing this devastating diagnosis. He’s also a proud father to his adult daughter Haley, and a steady, loving father figure to his two stepsons, Gabe and Luke.

He has many people surrounding him with love—but the road ahead is hard, and he cannot walk it alone.

Greg is the guy who, for me, is my first call.

He’s who I go to with questions about life, work—and especially car issues (he always knows what that noise is). Maybe you’ve called Greg when you were in a jam, needed advice, or just needed someone to show up. He’s that guy for a lot of us.

Greg has a gift for making people feel like they matter—like you’re the only person in the world when he’s helping you. Over the years, he’s quietly become that go-to friend for dozens—if not hundreds—of us.

So today, if Greg has ever been your first call—or maybe he still is—let’s show up for him.

Let’s be the kind of community that reflects back the loyalty, kindness, and selflessness he’s shown us time and time again.

We’ve set a goal of $100,000 to give Greg some peace of mind and cover:

• Medical treatment and travel

• Time away from work

• Long-term support for his children and their future

To help launch this effort, my wife Tara and I are donating $10,000. We know not everyone can give a lot—but everyone can give a little. And when we come together for someone as special as Greg, that adds up to something life-changing.

Please donate what you can. Share this. Let’s carry Greg the way he’s carried so many of us.

With love and gratitude,

Nate & Tara Routsong
