This past month, Tom and Amy planned to share the wonderful news that they’re expecting their first baby this fall. What should have been a time of pure celebration quickly shifted when Tom was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

At just 34 years old, Tom is a devoted husband, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, business owner, and the kind of friend who can always rally the group together for a round of golf.

While the diagnosis has been devastating, Tom is approaching this fight the same way he approaches everything in life, with determination, resilience, and the support of the incredible community around him.

There is hope. Tom’s tumor is methylated, which can make treatment more responsive. With access to the best specialists and treatment options available, we want to give Tom every possible advantage in this fight. That said, the road ahead will bring immense challenges, including extensive treatments, medical expenses, time away from work, and preparing to welcome their baby boy in just a few months. That’s why we’re coming together as friends, family, and community.

While cost and treatment opportunities may vary throughout this journey, the funds raised will help support:

• Medical bills and specialized treatments

• Pursuit of experimental, personalized, innovative treatment options in Germany. Potential therapy options the Tracys hope to pursue include:

• Daily living and travel expenses to support the family during this fight

Tom has spent his life showing up for his family, friends, teammates, and community members. Now it’s our turn to show up for him!

Tom and Amy are incredibly grateful for all the love and support that everyone has already shown them. Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and for any help you are able to give.

The GFM organizer is listed as Kimberly Tecce, Tom's cousin, but all communications via GFM will be sent directly to Tom and Amy.
