Fill Charlie's Cancer Fight with Adventure

Donation protected
Hey there!

I'm Charlie, and for the past two and a half years, I've been on a challenging journey battling colon cancer. Despite making progress against the tumors, my recent scan revealed that existing tumors have grown, with new spots appearing. Throughout my treatment, I've faced physical limitations due to the effects of cancer and chemotherapy. However, this year brought a new wave of hope and strength.

In January, I embarked on a mission to have a small adventure every month, with a grand goal of capturing the breathtaking beauty of Glacier National Park in Montana. This dream holds a special place in my heart, as I envision experiencing it with my closest friends, taking a hot air balloon ride over those majestic landscapes together. It symbolizes gaining a better vantage point, both physically and emotionally, in our journey through life's challenges.

The anticipation of this trip has been my driving force, pulling me through dark winter days, chemo side effects, and uncertain treatment outcomes. Despite the twists and turns in my health, the desire to create lasting memories with loved ones remains unwavering. While the path ahead may seem uncertain, I believe in the power of shared experiences and the strength we find in togetherness.

Raising money through this campaign will allow me to focus my resources on exploring more treatment options and addressing the challenges that lie ahead. As I navigate through my current treatment regimen and the uncertainties it brings, I hold onto the belief that this adventure is still within reach. I'm determined to keep pushing forward and cherishing moments with those who matter most to me – my family and friends. Your support and encouragement mean the world to me, and I would be incredibly grateful for your help in turning this dream into a reality.

Here's to embracing the journey, finding joy in the present moment, and creating unforgettable memories with the ones we hold dear.

With gratitude and hope,
Charlie
