On March 26, 2026, Austin was diagnosed with colon cancer — a diagnosis that has already impacted multiple generations of his family. Despite that weight, we truly believe this is something he will fight and overcome, even with the challenges ahead.

This year was meant to be the start of something beautiful.

Austin and Jonny bought a home for themselves, began building and operating his own LLC, and set bigger goals than ever before. But shortly after stepping into this exciting chapter, he began feeling unwell.

At first, it seemed like stress — understandable, given that his mother, uncle, and grandfather have all been battling cancer at the same time.

After urgent care and doctor visits with no clear answers, everything changed in an instant. Austin felt faint while doing what he loves — working — and was taken to the ER by Jonny. Emergency scans revealed a mass on his colon.

Those are words no one expects to hear, especially during what should be one of the most exciting times of their life.

Now, Austin is facing a fight that no one plans for. Between treatment, recovery, and time away from work, the financial burden quickly becomes overwhelming.

Austin will be undergoing surgery on 4/8/2026 to remove his entire colon. He will be in the hospital for 3-4 days recovering and then will be sent home to finish his recovery.

If you’re able, we ask for your support — whether that’s through sharing this page, keeping Austin in your thoughts or prayers, or making a donation. No amount is too small and can help ease the strain of medical expenses and allow Austin to focus on healing.

To know Austin is to love him. He is the kind of person who shows up for everyone — always willing to help, always giving, always caring.

Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

We will be sure to share continuous updates with you all.

With love and gratitude.
