Our dear friend, Mike Lujan, who is a loving father, an amazing coworker, and an awesome human in general, was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer.

His journey began over a year ago when he started experiencing incessant stomach issues. He then began feeling pressure and some sort of growth in November of last year. Countless doctors were unable to determine what was wrong until he was referred to an oncologist in early 2023. In March, he received the devastating diagnosis: Stage 3 Cancer.

In the beginning of April, he began his treatment which would include six cycles of chemotherapy, each lasting three weeks per cycle. The third week of each cycle should have been his week to recover and detox; however due to complications, he has been unable to take that third week for recovery. Needless to say, this has made it difficult and nearly impossible for him to keep working. Mike was a manager of a brewery which can be physically demanding and taxing at times. With the stress of a cancer diagnosis, the effects of his treatment, combined with no longer having a mothly income, Mike is in a situation that he never could have foreseen, and one we would never want anyone to navigate on their own.

Help us give Mike one less thing to worry about.
