Support Rick Bartsch to Beat Stage 4 Colon Cancer

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals,

We are reaching out to you today to request your support for our beloved Rick Bartsch, a fighter in the battle against stage 4 metastatic colon cancer. Rick has recently received news of his eligibility for a phase 1 clinical trial at the prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. This trial represents his final chance for effective treatment after enduring countless rounds of chemotherapy and numerous surgeries.

Rick is a loving father to three adult children and a proud grandpa to five beautiful grandchildren, ranging in age from 2 to 11. As he fights for his life, his greatest motivation is the opportunity to spend more precious time with his family. We want to ensure that Rick can embark on this critical treatment journey without financial burdens weighing him down.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign will be solely dedicated to covering Rick's airfare, hotel accommodations, and various travel expenses during his visits to MD Anderson Cancer Center. These costs can quickly accumulate, and we aim to alleviate the financial strain on Rick and his life partner, Gina Horn, during this challenging time.

Your support and contributions, no matter the amount, will make an immense difference in Rick's fight against stage 4 metastatic colon cancer. Together, we can help him access this potentially life-saving clinical trial and provide hope for a brighter future.

We kindly ask you to consider donating and sharing this campaign with your networks. Your generosity will not only impact Rick's life but also bring comfort and strength to his loving family.

Thank you for your unwavering support, prayers, and well wishes. Let's rally around Rick as he takes on this final option for treatment and stands strong in the face of adversity.

Note: Any funds raised beyond the required amount for Rick's medical travel expenses will be used to support his ongoing medical needs and provide financial stability for his family during this difficult time.

Please join us in our fight and contribute today.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Alexa vonGoltz and the Bartsch Family
