Support Mike’s Fight

We all know Michael as a super tall, often cranky, lovable and down to earth guy. He’s always there to lend a hand, bring the beers and man the bbq when needed. He’s someone who would give you the shirt off his back, and doesn’t ask for anything in return.

In October, Michael was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL), located in his bone marrow. While not curable, this type of cancer is treatable but will entail a long and arduous journey.

In typical Michael fashion, he is upbeat, ready to fight and kick this cancer to the curb, but he will need our support to do it!

His treatment plan will involve a combination of chemotherapy, other medications/steroids and getting blood to bring up his white blood cell counts over the next 6-9 months. With the loss of energy and side effects of starting treatment, he has had to stop working and will not likely be able to return for some time. Being self-employed, access to benefits and financial options are unfortunately very limited, so we are hoping to raise some money to help with the costs of getting him to and from treatments (2-3 times per week) and living expenses, which will hopefully make the road to recovery a little easier on him.

Your contributions to the cause would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for supporting in any way you can.
