In January 2018, Christian  was diagnosed with Germ Cell cancer. In the time since, Christian has completed multiple chemotheraphy sessions, three brain surgeries, and most recently this fall, a Stem Cell transplant. Just before thanksgiving this year, Christian learned the cancer has returned, and is no longer treatable. 
 
We are all stunned by this news. We all continue to remind ourselves that while we may know the cause of end, we still do not know when. The need ahead of us is to spend quality time with our family and friends.
 
As you can imagine, this is an all hands-on deck situation. The financial implications of a battle with cancer are real. In addition to your thoughts, prayers and endless good vibes, another meaningful way you can back Christian is with a pledge of financial support. Your contributions will go directly to funding both Christian’s care, and to support his family in covering bills, travel, and other expenses. To ensure the quality of this time together in the coming months, the goal is to relieve family from this financial burden.

In these most challenging of times, what helps us through is the love, optimism and strength of those around us. As family, friends and members of Christian’s ‘circle of love’ now is the time to unite and show our strength as their support system.
 
We thank everyone for the love and support you’ve already given the family.
