Support Our Dad's Fight Against SCLC

Support Our Dad in His Battle with Cancer and Rare Neurological Disorder

Our world changed forever when our dad was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and a rare, life-altering condition called Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS).

Our father is the strongest man we know — a kind soul, a hard worker, and a loving dad to three kids who adore him. Watching him now, struggling to walk, to move, to breathe without pain, is absolutely heartbreaking. LEMS, combined with his aggressive cancer, has stolen so much from him in such a short time. But it hasn’t taken his will to fight — or our determination to help him through this.

The road ahead is long and uncertain. He needs ongoing cancer treatments, hospital visits, expensive medications, and constant care just to get through each day. The financial weight of this battle has become overwhelming. As a family, we’re doing everything we can, but we simply can’t do it alone.

We’re reaching out with humble hearts to ask for help. Every donation, no matter the size, will go toward:

Life-saving cancer treatments
Medications to manage LEMS and its painful symptoms
Hospital and specialist bills
Physical therapy and home care support
Daily costs while he’s unable to work

If you’re able to give, we are deeply grateful. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with others or keeping our dad in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for helping us hold onto hope — and for standing with our dad in his fight.

With all our love and gratitude,
The Aldworth Family
