Support Jimmy Cryan's Cancer Battle

Hello - We are reaching out with heavy hearts to share difficult news about our longtime friend, Jimmy Cryan. Jimmy was recently diagnosed with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the liver. We are urgently trying to raise funds to help him and his wife, Noreen McCarthy Cryan, fight this battle.

The Cryan Family has supported many people and organizations throughout the years. Now, we need to rally the community together to be there for them during this extremely difficult time. They are in urgent need of financial support for the unexpected medical treatment and basic living costs.

The upcoming months will be physically, mentally and emotionally draining for Jimmy and Noreen, and we want to make sure he can receive the necessary treatment, without worrying about the immense, unexpected financial burden/medical bills or day-to-day necessities. To note, due to Jimmy’s cancer diagnosis, he is unable to continue working at this time.

If you are able to contribute financially to help get them through this extremely difficult time as the unexpected medical expenses and bills pile up - please do.

Every donation, regardless of size, will make a difference and be deeply appreciated. All donations received will go directly towards his medical treatment and basic day-to-day living necessities.

If you’re unable to donate, your prayers and encouraging messages would mean a lot. Please also share this page with as many people as possible to help spread the word.

[One further note: Stage IV is not a death sentence - Jimmy is determined to make it through this, and he's working incredibly hard to stay positive and fight for the shot that his doctors know he could have if he undergoes the aggressive treatment plan that has been highly recommended]
