Support April's Fight Against Cancer

Hello to our wonderful friends, family, and community,

This year has brought an unexpected challenge: a breast cancer diagnosis. I’ve been diagnosed with Stage 2B, Grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma, and the journey ahead will be long and intensive. My treatment plan includes six rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy with expanders, six months of immunotherapy, and multiple reconstructive breast surgeries. If all goes smoothly without complications, this process will take about a year to complete.

While Ernie and I are staying strong in faith and determined to face this battle head-on, my diagnosis has changed much about our daily lives. With me unable to be as available to help at the shop, we’ve had to pull back the reins and only take on smaller jobs through his electrical business. This has added financial challenges to the already significant burden of uncovered medical bills, co-pays, and necessary home accommodations.

Ernie and I found each other in 2020 after years of difficult times and rocky relationships. Marrying in 2023 was a milestone in the life we’ve built together—a life filled with love, hope, and resilience. We share four children and one beautiful grandson, who are our greatest source of strength and joy. We are looking forward to the day when this battle is behind us and we can once again create memories with our family, ride our motorcycles, and enjoy life’s blessings.

For years, we’ve supported causes through the motorcycle community, always finding joy in giving back. Now, we find ourselves in the humbling position of needing help. Your prayers, donations, and encouragement mean the world to us as we navigate this difficult season.

I’ll be documenting my journey on my public Facebook group and TikTok account for those who want to follow along:

We’ve also included an Amazon wish list and mailing address for those who feel called to help in other ways. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our story and for helping us through this challenging time.

With great gratitude and faith,

April & Ernie
