Support a Memorial Bench for Steve Albert

My family is raising money to install a memorial bench in honor of Steve Albert in Janesville, WI. Steve loved being active and running/biking on all the bike trails. He lived in Janesville his whole life and we know he’d get a kick out of having a bench in his hometown.

It breaks our hearts to say but Steve passed away on July 10th. He was going through chemotherapy for his newly diagnosed colorectal cancer and when his chemo port became infected. This infection led to fatal sepsis. We knew our time was limited with him after his cancer diagnosis but we didn’t know sepsis would shorten that time even more. We are left feeling heartbroken and devastated.

For those who knew Steve, you know how wonderful and energetic his soul is. He cared deeply about those he loved. The world feels a little more dim without his light. We know a bench won’t cure the void we feel but it will provide a place to sit and relax and remember the happy times.

Any contribution is appreciated ❤️
