Update from Greg on 3/19/22:
Sorry I’ve left everyone hanging, wondering what might be going with me. This post will be very to the point because I simply don’t have the energy for any pizazz.
The trial was unsuccessful for me. My cancer grew in my liver to a point that it cannot be treated. Hospice is coming to our home today to help me be comfortable until I die.
I can barely do anything anymore. I am in bed most of my days. I have no comfort. Constantly uncomfortable. It’s hard to eat. It’s hard to enjoy myself.
I REALLY appreciate everyone here in this group that has followed along and showed support for me and my family these past two years. I always wanted to beat this thing and throw a big party with anyone and everyone from the group invited so I could show you all my love. I’m afraid all I can do now is ask that, if you’re somewhat close to my wife, please give her support. She is having a very hard time with this, as you might expect. I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose me… I’m so awesome. : )
If you sent me a letter while I was in the hospital, I got it! Thank you for your words. Thank you to Mighty Kind, and Scott Mertz at Grandpas Family Farms for giving me some things that have showed me some relief.
Thank you to all that have dropped off food for our family. Those food drops were vital during days when everything felt like a wreck, and the last thing Megan wanted to do was turn on the oven.
Thank you to Ken Sturma with the Two-Three Fund, Denny Maher, and all others that made contributions to our GoFundMe. Even though we have legit insurance, we still have had to pay SO much out-of-pocket for my treatment.
I’m not going to be able to talk or see everyone before I go. That makes me sad. You can try contacting me but my phone is on silent now and I don’t have the energy for conversations.
I’m very sorry that it has come to this.
Thanks again for reading.
With so much love, Greg Haupt

Family and Friends,
Greg and Megan's world was turned upside down as they received the news of Greg's colorectal cancer. On March 31, doctors confirmed that it had metastasized to his liver and lungs. This is something no one is ever prepared to hear, yet alone it happening to our amazing Greg and his beautiful family.
Since that day, with the help from very special colleagues, Greg and Megan were connected with a specialist at Siteman Cancer Center. Dr. Tan is an amazing doctor who created an action plan that made them feel comfortable and hopeful in his plan of attack. Greg started his first round of chemotherapy on Tuesday, April 7 that will take place every other Tuesday for two months, followed by a scan that will monitor the progress of his treatment. At that time, another round of chemotherapy will begin for two more months. Dr. Tan is also researching blood traits and any other possibilities that will help find the right therapy for Greg's case.
What makes this even more heartbreaking is that COVID-19 has taken away precious time being spent with family and friends. It has taken away a school routine for Henry, Max, and Jane. It has taken away Megan being able to just focus on Greg. It has taken away work from Megan so she can care for their kids and Greg during the day. It has taken away normalcy for everyone, but in a time when the Haupts could use it most, it's gone.
In addition to all the constant prayers, positive thoughts, countless messages, and meal support, so many people have asked what they can do to help. This page was created to give everyone the option to donate, if they would like, to help with medical bills, grocery deliveries, meals, activities for the kids, etc., especially while work is nonexistent. The funds will go directly to the Haupt family to alleviate some of the burden.
The Haupt family is loved by so many and they feel your love and support each day. They are extremely grateful for all of you and thank you from the bottom of their hearts.
