On June 11, 2025, my son Derek Plant, who is 31 years old, was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumors and liver cancer. This news has been overwhelming for Derek, his wife, and our family, and we are doing everything we can to support Derek as he faces this difficult journey. Derek is deeply humbled by the outpouring of love, prayers, and positive thoughts from friends and family. Your support has already made a tremendous impact, and it means the world to us to know that so many people are standing by his side.

We are reaching out to our community in the hope that we can come together to help Derek through this challenging time. Your contributions will go directly toward the costs of his treatment and potential clinical trials, which are essential for giving Derek the best chance at recovery. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in Derek’s fight against cancer. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping Derek and our family in your thoughts and prayers is just as valuable and appreciated.

Derek never imagined he would be in a position where he needed to ask for help, but sometimes life takes unexpected turns, and it’s okay to lean on others. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support as we navigate this together.
