MY BROTHERS KEEPER

HELLO, MY NAME IS HEATHER CAMPBELL. ALTHOUGH MY BROTHER HAD HOPED TO KEEP HIS ILLNESS AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC EYE, AS HIS ONLY SIBLING, AND HIS KEEPER, I FEEL MY AMAZING BROTHER COULD REALLY USE SOME SUPPORT. MY BROTHER IS ADVENTUROUS, KIND, SMART, GIVING, AND A BIT A OF WANDERLUST. HE IS ALSO AN AMAZING UNCLE FOR MY TWO BOYS, WHO ABSOLUTLY ADORE HIM. SINCE HE WAS A CHILD, HE HAS ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR HOCKEY, AND RECENTLY BECAME A YOUTH ICE HOCKEY COACH, AND NOW EVEN IN THE MIDST OF HIS ILLNESS HE GIVES BACK HIS TIME JUST AS HIS COACHES DID FOR HIM.

UNFORTUNATLY THIS PAST SUMMER MY BROTHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. HE RECENTLY HAD SURGERY TO REMOVE THE CANCER, AND NOW WILL HAVE  MANY ROUNDS OF RADIATION TO KILL OFF  ANY LINGERING PARTICALS. SINCE HIS DIAGNOSES, HE HAS REMAINED POSITIVE, STRONG, AND HAS ASKED FOR NOTHING, EXCEPT AN OCAISONAL CALL TO HIM TO SEE HOW HE IS DOING. WITH SUCH A HEAVY BURDEN OF MEDICAL BILLS AND TIME LOST AT WORK, I KNOW HE IS IN NEED FINACAILLY.

THIS WEEK HE STARTED HIS RADIATION TREATMENT, HIS BODY ISN'T HANDLING IT AS WELL AS HE HAD HOPED AND HE IS STRUGGLING WITH THE SIDE EFFECTS. SO HERE IS A FAVOR I AM ASKING FOR FROM ALL FRIENDS, FAMILY, OR ANYONE WHO FEELS COMPELLED TO GIVE. IF YOU HAVE  A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS TO GIVE OR EVEN A SECOND TO WRITE AN EMAIL TO LET HIM KNOW YOU ARE THIKING OF HIM, IT WOULD BE THE GREATEST GIFT YOU COULD EVER GIVE IN THIS HARD SEASON HE IS GOING THROUGH.

BROTHER, WHEN YOU FINALLY SEE THIS, I AM SORRY FOR MAKING THIS PUBLIC. WE WERE NEVER CREATED TO DO LIFE ALONE, AND ALTHOUGH I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT THE HELP, I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO ATLEAST LIFT THE BURDEN A LITTLE. I LOVE YOU MORE THEN YOU WILL EVER KNOW AND I KNOW WE ARE GOING TO BEAT THIS.
