<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last week, Noah was on the court playing college basketball at the University of Central Oklahoma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This week, he was diagnosed with an aggressive Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noah is 19 years old. He’s a student, a teammate, a competitor, and a young man with a big future. What began as concerning symptoms quickly became tests, scans, and then words no family is prepared to hear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While the diagnosis is serious, lymphoma is treatable — and we are committed to fighting this with everything we have.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Plan
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After consulting with specialists, we are relocating Noah to Houston so he can receive treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the leading cancer centers in the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His treatment plan is expected to span approximately 6-8 months, requiring intensive therapy and close monitoring. In order to give him the best possible care and allow him to focus fully on healing, our family will be temporarily relocating during this season.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Raising $100,000</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cancer treatment creates significant financial strain. This fundraiser is designed to provide stability during Noah’s treatment so that financial pressure does not compound an already difficult fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will go toward:
</div>
<div>• Medical expenses not covered by insurance, including deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, medications, and imaging
</div>
<div>• Temporary housing in Houston near MD Anderson
</div>
<div>• Food and daily living expenses during relocation
</div>
<div>• Travel and transportation between Oklahoma and Houston
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Based on projected costs over 6 months, we are raising $100,000 to responsibly cover housing, medical expenses, and living expenses throughout treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are committed to full transparency and will provide updates as treatment progresses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who Noah Is</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noah is a competitor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Basketball has shaped him — discipline, resilience, teamwork, and grit. Those same qualities are now being tested in a much bigger arena.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has approached this diagnosis the same way he approached every game: steady, focused, and ready to fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This season looks different than he planned.
</div>
<div><strong>But he is not backing down.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel led to support Noah:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Donate, if you’re able
</div>
<div>• Share this page with your network
</div>
<div>• Keep Noah in your prayers and thoughts
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If 1,000 people give $100, we reach our goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every gift reduces stress and allows Noah and our family to concentrate fully on healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are deeply grateful for the love, encouragement, and support already surrounding him. Thank you for standing with our family during this fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are determined.
</div>
<div>We are hopeful.
</div>
<div>And we are moving forward — together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>— The Eckels Family
