Support Richie Dryden & Family During His Cancer Journey

Hi friends and family,

I’m starting this GoFundMe for Richie Dryden, a devoted husband, father, and friend, who has recently been diagnosed with liver cancer. Richie and his wife, Lindsey, are currently waiting to hear back from the Mayo Clinic in Florida about his treatment plan and next steps.

Richie is the husband of my childhood friend, Lindsey, and together they are raising three amazing boys. As you can imagine, this diagnosis has turned their world upside down—emotionally, physically, and financially.

As Richie begins this fight, the family will need to travel to Florida for appointments and treatments at Mayo Clinic. This means significant expenses for room and board, travel, and time away from home. While Lindsey is able to telework so she can be by Richie’s side and care for him during this critical time, Richie has very limited paid time off. On top of that, medical bills will continue to add up quickly.

The goal of this fundraiser is to ease the financial burden so Richie and Lindsey can focus on what truly matters right now: Richie’s healing, Lindsey being present to support him, and their boys having stability and reassurance during an incredibly uncertain time.

Any donation—no matter the size—will help cover medical expenses, travel and lodging costs, and lost income. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping the Dryden family in your thoughts and prayers means more than you know.

Thank you for your love, support, and generosity during this difficult chapter. It truly takes a village, and the Dryden family is so grateful for theirs.

With gratitude,

Melissa Strickland
