Stand by Ryan and Son in Their Struggle

Ryan’s Story: A Fighter, A Friend, A Father

Meet Ryan—a 34-year-old father, friend, and motivator who lives his life lifting others up. Even in the face of his own struggles, he inspires those around him to push beyond their limits. Ryan has always been passionate about helping people—so much so that he built two businesses dedicated to making a difference.

• Beyond the Bar supports restaurant industry workers in creating fulfilling lives, enabling them to spread positivity to every guest they meet.

• RYAN Ennis Motivator is his personal mission to share his story and inspire others to overcome their own challenges.

Ryan is humble, kind, and resilient. He’s the kind of person who will stop everything to listen, pray for a stranger, and become their biggest cheerleader. If you’ve ever had the privilege of knowing him, you already understand the light he brings into the world.

The Fight of His Life

Almost three years ago, Ryan was diagnosed with stage four metastatic lung cancer. From the start, the odds were stacked against him—but with faith and determination, he refused to back down. He’s been battling relentlessly ever since.

Now, his fight has become even tougher. Cancer cells have spread to his spinal fluid, requiring a targeted therapy that crosses the brain-blood barrier—his last hope at fighting back. While fighting and taking the next step, his family could use our support.

To make matters even harder, Ryan’s focus on healing has meant stepping away from work, creating an immense financial strain. And as if that weren’t enough, his youngest son, Shane, is facing brain surgery this month. With medical bills piling up and his family’s future hanging in the balance, Ryan needs our help.

How You Can Help

We are rallying together to raise money to cover:

✅ Ryan’s life-saving cancer treatment

✅ Medical expenses for Shane’s surgery

✅ Household and family support to ease the financial burden

With everything on his plate, this is our moment to show up for Ryan like he has always shown up for us.
