Anyone who has ever met Bernie knows he’s the most generous person you’ll ever encounter. Now, it’s our turn to give back and support him. Bernie’s journey with multiple myeloma—a relentless and currently incurable disease—began in 2009 with optimism and hope. Over the years, he has participated in numerous clinical trials and received new, cutting-edge treatments in his fight against this disease.

This disease has no cure and requires ongoing treatment, which has placed an immense financial strain on Bernie and his family. The medical bills are astronomical, and the frequent travel to and from Boston for treatment at Mass General is both physically and financially exhausting. During specific phases of treatment, Bernie must stay within 10 minutes of the hospital, adding additional expenses to an already heavy burden.

Thankfully, Bernie’s wife, Melissa, has been by his side every step of the way. She’s been able to work remotely during this grueling process, but when she cannot work, their family has no income.

Bernie’s determination to support his family has always been inspiring. After being forced to leave the career he was passionate about due to the physical toll of this disease, he started Bernie G’s Seacoast Shuttle, a driving business in York and the Seacoast. Unfortunately, Bernie hasn’t been able to drive since November, and this will likely continue until at least February 2025. Thankfully, his father-in-law has stepped in to keep the shuttle running and support Bernie’s loyal clients.

If you’re unable to make a donation, you can still help by sharing this link and spreading the word about Bernie G’s Seacoast Shuttle. Every ride booked and every share makes a difference.

Now is the time for all of us to come together and help Bernie and Melissa through this incredibly difficult chapter of their lives.
