Help Sean fight cancer!
Sean Walker is 39 years old, an incredible father to Michaela & Jackson and a loving partner to Amy.
In early 2017 Sean was diagnosed with liposarcoma, a rare type of cancer that affects the body's connective tissues. He required 10 hours of surgery to remove a massive tumour from his abdomen. The radiation took a toll on Sean and the fight was difficult, but he battled back and pulled through. Recovery was a long, tough road, but thankfully, in March 2018, a follow up scan gave us much relief when the results came back clear.
Sadly just months after this clear scan, in October 2018, we were thrown back into the ring to ‘fight’ again.
We learned that the cancer had come back, this time packing an even stronger and more aggressive punch. Sean is now undergoing multiple chemotherapy treatments in order to stop the disease from spreading. While the outlook remains grim, we continue to fight for the sake of our family and truly thank everyone for sending us your thoughts & prayers.
The challenge ahead
2019 will be a particularly difficult year us and we’re hoping you can help offset some of the intense financial pressures experienced by Sean and our family.
The medications required and the cost of the treatments are extremely expensive and Sean's private insurance is already maxed out. One of his medications is $1200 per dose alone! As Sean is currently too weak and unable to work, Amy is solely supporting the family. We are asking you to help alleviate some of the treatment and medication costs, and any unexpected costs that the family will incur.
Anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated. We want Sean and his family to remain hopeful and focused on him healing and beating cancer.
This fund has been organized by The Martellacci Family (Sean's In-Laws) who live close to Sean in Woodbridge ON. The funds being raised will be used to cover many expenses related to Sean's illness including medicine, travel, as well as day to day living expenses due to Sean's reduced income level.
