About 14 years ago, everything started changing for me with MS. It was a difficult adjustment, and over time, my health challenges continued to grow. Six years ago, I underwent surgery to remove 18 inches of my sigmoid colon. I remember the surgeon telling me, 'You are cured now.' But I never truly felt cured, and my journey with illness continued.

Now, I am on hospice care, facing tumors throughout my body, including many that are affecting my lungs. Each day brings new challenges, and I am doing my best to stay strong and hopeful. The support from friends, family, and my community means the world to me, and it helps me keep going even when things feel overwhelming.

The funds raised through this campaign will help with medical bills, comfort items, and anything else that can ease my situation while I am on hospice. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference in my life. You and your help equate to a successful event. Thank you, brother, and thank you to everyone who supports and shares my story.
