Jr's campaign to fight cancer!

These are my daughters, McKenzie (top picture) and Kari (bottom picture) but also myself. They have created this GoFundMe page for me and will be updating the page / answering emails on my behalf, since I'm not too fond of technology these days.

Last year, I began to have trouble swallowing. When it got so bad that I couldn't get anything to go down, I went to the hospital. There, they took a scope down my throat. Turns out there was blockage due to food impaction and also...a tumor. It was Stage 3 esophagus cancer...

I have since been through chemo, radiation and so many pokes and prods - that I don't even know how many procedures have been done at this point. 

Now it is Stage 4, but as of now the tumor hasn't changed much in size and we are hoping that it will not grow ANY more!

All I know is - my friends and family have been there for me every step of the way. And there is nothing better than having two daughters to fight for you when something goes wrong! 

The money that we raise here will be used for medical bills, and readiness for the future - such as Life Insurance and funeral expenses.

I think I'll let my daughter McKenzie take over now:

"Hello everyone! My Dad is such a great person with a huge heart, funny jokes and a smile that is contagious. He means so much to all of us and we couldn't imagine life without him! That is why we are fighting the big fight, and will be kicking cancers butt as hard as we can! The money will only be used when needed. Showing your support to our family means the world to us and we will be happy with anything he receives. This campaign also serves as his way of getting funds for the future to make sure he has everything taken care of. We will be sending out thank-you notes and answering emails if you have anything you would like to send to him. His exclusive email for his GoFundMe page is listed below. Prayers are welcome! He appreciates all kind words, encouragements and even more funny jokes to tell us! 

Once again, thank you again for showing support for our family during this tough time, and expect updates as much as possible!
