We have been friends with Ryan for nearly 10 years, spending countless summers camping and boating together. He's always been someone we could count on, and now he needs our support more than ever. Ryan has already shown incredible strength by beating cancer in the past, but in May 2025, Ryan was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Since then, he's faced a tough road, including a recent month-long hospital stay due to side effects from a trial drug meant to help fight his cancer.

This diagnosis has turned life upside down for Ryan and his wife Melissa. He has had to take significant time off work due to feeling sick after treatments, and Melissa has had to take time off to be by his side during hospital stays and treatments. The financial strain is growing with travel for treatment and everyday expenses adding up quickly.

Ryan is a very proud man and would never ask for help, but he has been there for so many in their time of need, and now Ryan and Melissa need our help. Ryan and Melissa have an uphill battle right now fighting this terrible disease. To make sure all his energy is going to fighting, we are asking for help in any way you can. Your support—whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser—will make a real difference for Ryan and his family as they face this challenge together.
