It is with a heavy heart that I am reaching out to all of you for financial assistance.

As many of you know, I have been recently diagnosed with 2 forms of CTCL (Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma) an extremely rare cancer.  The 1st is MF (Mycosis Fongoides) and the 2nd is LyP (Lymphomatoid Papulosis)

The physicians at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia , PA are providing me with the best course of treatment and care that is available. My prognosis is in question considering the fact that there are so few cases like mine.

In saying this, the hours away from my job and the mounting medical expenses are becoming a huge concern for me and my family. No one ever wants to be in a position where they need to ask for financial help but my need for immediate medical attention has brought me to this point.

The current plan to begin next week will be 3 weeks of radiation daily, Monday - Friday, 1 hour sessions.

The radiation therapy will also create another medical concern and financial burden. Once the radiation treatments begin I will become infertile. My wife, Chrissy, and I have been recently married and our plan was to always have a baby. I have a wonderful stepchild and love being a stepfather to her. We have a small window of opportunity for a child by IVF. As we all know, IVF is one of the most costly procedures and is not covered by insurance. In all of this stress and uncertainty, the sunshine in our darkness would be to create a new life...... have a baby!

In summary, your financial support will assist me and my family emotionally too! In such a stressful time, your financial gift will bring a huge sense of relief while dealing with so many other concerns that go along with an ongoing illness. Any amount and  will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
