Help Ralph fight Pancreatic Cancer

Donation protected
On March 1st, after several days in the hospital having procedures, tests and scans, our friend Ralph Shastany was given a devastating diagnosis, Pancreatic Cancer. Although the prognosis is often not good, Ralph met with his oncologist last Friday to discuss options that will hopefully prolong his life and has decided on the Whipple Procedure. This surgery is one of the most demanding and risky procedures for both surgeons and patients, however, it may extend life and could be a potential cure. The surgery is scheduled for March 29th and both Ralph and his surgeon are going into this with a confident, positive attitude so I believe there is hope. The months ahead are going to be challenging for both Ralph and Kelly. There will be extensive medical bills and with Kelly being the primary care giver during his recuperation, there will be lost wages. If we can all come together and help them out by making a small contribution to assist in these expenses, it would be greatly appreciated. Ralph is a fighter and he is determined to make it through this surgery. Because we all love Ralph and want to see him through this unfortunate time without having to worry about anything other than getting better, let's help him fight by donating to his campaign. Please keep Ralph in your prayers and please feel free to share this. Thank you for your support and God Bless.
