This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share. My dad, Richard Campeau, has been diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma — a rare, aggressive, and terminal form of brain cancer. There’s no cure. We’ve been told this is a battle we can’t win, only try to manage for as long as possible. Hearing that was devastating — but watching someone you love live through it is even harder.

My dad is the heart of our family — strong, selfless, and full of quiet wisdom. He’s always shown up for others, never asking for anything in return. Now he’s facing the unthinkable. He’s already undergone brain surgery, radiation, and is now pushing through his fourth round of chemotherapy. Each round takes a bigger toll, and the side effects are brutal — but he continues to fight with a grace and strength that humbles all of us.

Alongside the emotional pain, the financial burden has become overwhelming. Medical bills, medications, travel to appointments, and everyday living expenses are piling up. We’re doing all we can, but we can’t carry this alone. We’re trying to raise funds to help ease the burden and make sure my dad can focus on fighting without the added stress of how to afford it all.

If you’re able to help in any way — through donating, sharing his story, or simply keeping my dad in your thoughts and prayers — it would mean more to our family than words can express. We’re holding on to love, hope, and the time we still have with him. Thank you for being part of that hope.
