Our dear friend Todd was recently diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer. The diagnosis came at a routine appointment to check a swollen gland in his throat. Todd lives a healthy lifestyle, so this has been shocking and difficult. As a realtor, there are no benefits packages; health insurance is not provided by an employer. Unfortunately, because of this, many agents don't have health insurance, Todd being one of them.

Todd's priority in life is being an amazing Dad to three boys: Ayden, Austin, and Easton. All three are in college at Arizona State, University of AZ, and Kansas University. Todd lives alone with his beloved female Rottweilers, Koko and Rona. Todd is no stranger to cancer; his mom lost her battle with stage 4 lung cancer 4 years ago.

Due to the location of the cancer, it is inoperable. Todd is exploring many natural treatments in an effort to avoid radiation and/or chemotherapy. One option is the Mexico Cancer Clinic. Other options include red light therapy, infrared therapy, high-dose vitamin C drips, ivermectin, and fenbendazole, and TORS (Trans-Oral Robotic Surgery). Todd does hope to have insurance through MN Sure starting 1/2025, but the Dr. visits and treatment options are very expensive.

Todd's medical expenses have already tipped the $30k mark, and this is just the beginning. All funds collected will be used to pay off current and future medical expenses.

Whether you know Todd through softball, poker, pickleball, or real estate, you know that he hates to lose and is already putting everything he's got into beating this.

Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated. Please share this post with others to help him (hopefully) get to his goal of raising $30,000.
