Marc Peterson is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of his brother Jon “PUTZ” Peterson. Help my brother Jon fight GE Junction cancer. A devoted family man. A hard worker. A kind soul. That’s who Jon Peterson is — and right now, he needs us more than ever.
Back in March, Jon received news no one ever wants to hear: he was diagnosed with gastro esophageal junction cancer. Since then, his life has been full of doctor appointments, hospital visits, radiation and chemo treatments, and overwhelming uncertainty.
As part of his fight, Jon has been traveling to Mayo Hospital for specialized care, sometimes having to stay in hotels for days. These trips, on top of mounting medical bills and time away from work, have placed a heavy financial burden on him and his family. He’s missed weeks of income just trying to survive — not just the cancer, but the cost of fighting it. And the journey isn’t over.
In early September, Jon is scheduled to undergo a major surgery to remove a lower portion of his esophagus and a good portion of his stomach — a life-altering procedure that will require even more recovery time and additional expenses.
Despite everything, Jon remains strong, humble, and full of hope. He continues to show up for his family with the same love and selflessness he’s always been known for. He’s the kind of guy who never asks for help — but today, we’re asking on his behalf.
How you can help — All donations will go directly toward helping Jon with: Medical bills and treatment costs, Travel and lodging during Mayo Hospital visits, Lost wages from time off work, Recovery expenses following surgery.
Every dollar helps and every share makes a difference. If you know Jon, you know how much he’s given to the people around him — through kindness, loyalty, and quiet strength. Let’s give back to the man who has given so much. Please donate if you can, share this campaign with others, and help us surround Jon with the love and support he deserves.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. JON STRONG
