Support Mike Valentino's Fight Against Cancer

Hello, our names are Ashley and Hayley and we are fundraising on behalf of our close friend/adopted brother Mike Valentino

 Mike has been a beloved part of the Hightstown/East Windsor community for years! As well as graduating Hightstown Highschool in 1998. Anyone who frequents the local bars know Mike – his warm and friendly personality could light up a room.

 

Whether he strikes up a conversation about an insane touchdown catch or presents his case for how Aaron Judge deserves the MVP award, Mike always enjoys conversing with friends, even strangers, about sports.

 

While his passion and knowledge of sports draws you in, his empathy, generosity and thoughtfulness are the heart of his character. He is always there for you when you need advice, a shoulder to cry on, or a good laugh. Mike is truly like a brother to anyone he encounters.

 

We are reaching out to ask for your support for Mike, as he was recently diagnosed with stage four adrenal cancer, a rare and aggressive disease. The disease has taken a turn for the worse and has spread rapidly to multiple organs. 

 

Despite the diagnosis, Mike has shown incredible strength, courage, and grace. But the journey ahead is long and difficult. Between hospital visits, treatments, medications, and time away from work, the financial burden is growing heavier by the day.

 

Your support will help with:

• Medical expenses not covered by insurance.

• Transportation to and from treatment centers.

• Daily living costs while unable to work.

• Specialized care and therapies to improve quality of life.

 

Every donation — no matter the size — brings us closer to easing the stress and allowing Mike and his family to focus on his healing. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with others can make a huge difference.

 

Let’s rally around Mike with love, hope, and generosity. Thank you for being part of this journey.
