Hi, my name is Michael Rowland, and I’m raising funds to support Dino and Rose as they face an incredibly difficult journey.

Earlier this week, without any prior symptoms, Dino suffered a sudden seizure and was rushed to Smiths Falls Hospital. He has since been transferred to Kingston, where doctors discovered he has glioblastoma — an aggressive form of brain cancer. He is now awaiting brain surgery in hopes of removing as much of the tumor as possible.

Rose, his devoted partner, has been by his side every single day. Despite the emotional toll, she makes the 90-minute drive from home to the hospital every morning and evening. She’s also taken a leave of absence from work to be with Dino during this critical time.

Anyone who knows Dino knows that he’s the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back — the kind of guy who’d never ask for help himself. But right now, he and Rose need our support.

I’m asking for donations to help them manage day-to-day expenses, travel costs, and the financial strain that comes with a medical crisis like this.

Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference as Dino fights for his life. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
