Ryan Christensen Medical expenses
Donation protected
Ryan is my nephew and is very dear to me. On June 25th, 2014, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Ryan is married and has a 3 1/2 year old son and a little girl who is 1 1/2.
Both Ryan and his wife, Mary, work for the Cotopaxi school. Mary is a counselor and Ryan teaches History, coaches sports and is the Athletic Director. Ryan is well loved by his students, co-workers and parents alike. The Student Council recently started a fund-raiser for him by selling purple t-shirts and ribbons. They suprised him at a school assembly and the fund-raiser is going very well.
Four months ago, Ryan began a grueling series of chemotherapy treatments every two weeks. Last week he had a PET scan and he got the best news of all! He is in remission!! and after this week's treatment he can stop the chemotherapy.
Ryan says it is because he and his supporters have been 100% positive that he will beat this thing!
Ryan has medical insurance, but even so, when someone faces cancer, health care costs can be pretty daunting. If you can help with a donation in any amount, it would be so appreciated.
PS Ryan has made a committment to be there for someone else who has to have chemo and doesn't have anyone to be with them. He has already contacted the hospital to let them know. This kind of "giving back" is one of the things that makes Ryan such a special person.
He wants everyone to know that "You all did this together and its been very gratifying." He thanks each and every person who has helped him.
