Hello, my name is Nick, and I’m organizing this fundraiser for my older brother, Ian.

Ian was recently diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. He started chemotherapy on January 5th, and while he is facing a long and difficult road ahead, he is meeting it with strength and determination

Ian has always been the kind of person others lean on. He’s a devoted father and an incredible role model to his five kids, an absolute rock for his partner Cassandra, and he’s been that steady presence for me and my sisters through some of our toughest moments. He’s the one who shows up, who listens, who puts others first—even now.

As a family, we’re doing everything we can to support him, but the weight of cancer—both emotionally and financially—is heavy. This fundraiser is meant to help ease that burden by covering basic living expenses and the medical costs that inevitably come with treatment, so Ian can focus on what matters most: healing and being there for his children.

We understand that times are hard and that not everyone is able to give. If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser means more than we can put into words. Every bit of support helps, and we are endlessly grateful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for the love, prayers, and kindness you’ve shown Ian and our family
