<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year was meant to be the start of something beautiful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At first, it seemed like stress — understandable, given that his mother, uncle, and grandfather have all been battling cancer at the same time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Those are words no one expects to hear, especially during what should be one of the most exciting times of their life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now it’s our turn to show up for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will be sure to share continuous updates with you all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude.
</div>
