My name is Daniel Mays and I am requesting donations on behalf of Richard Thompson. Richard Thompson is a long-standing employee with Blue Ridge Beverage who was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Richard recently completed surgery and all went as well as could be expected; however, Richard still has a long road ahead as he will have to receive chemotherapy for several months and cover payments for medical insurance and monthly bills and will be out of work for the next 4 to 6 months. Any amount of donations, I am certain, will be appreciated by Richard and his family.
