Send Randy & Mac To Grand Canyon

Donation protected
For most of you who know who Randy Gilson of Randyland is, you know he is one of the most amazing individuals this world has.
For those of you that don't know Randy, what you do need to know is that is he the most selfless, kind, amazing, inspirational, and awesome person you will ever meet.

Recently, tragedy has struck Randy and his partner (of 23 years), Mac when Mac was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Randy has not been on vacation for over 40 years and now we need to send him and Mac on their first vacation together. To get away from the stress and to see the gorgeous gift from Mother Nature called The Grand Canyon. Mac has also told Randy that he would like to see the beach and the ocean one more time...let's make that happen!
**ALL EXTRA MONEY IS FOR RANDY AND MAC TO USE FOR WHATEVER THEY WISH**

Randy has been vital in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Mexican War Streets for decades. Taking a run down, decaying neighborhood and creating it into something beautiful and full of love and passion. Randy has worked tirelessly since 1995 on what is now Pittsburgh's most colorful landmark, Randyland.

Randy has worked at the same restaurant for more than 3 decades making $50-$60 a day with all of that going right back into his community and Randyland. Randy is incapable of thinking about himself first which is an amazing trait to have in this day and age.

He greets any and every visitor with open arms and they each end up leaving feeling like they are part of the Randy Land family.Now it's time for Randy and Mac to enjoy a much needed vacation. The first together, and Randy's first in over 40 years. Randy is fighting hard to make his community beautiful, and even harder to help Mac overcome cancer. They both deserve this break.

The money raised will be to cover ALL expenses from the limo ride to the airport, to flights, car rental, hotels and the golden ticket into the Grand Canyon to see it in a very special way. Any extra money will be given to Randy and Mac as spending money and whatever else they would like to use it for. Randy land, medical expenses, it's up to them!!
I am also working and hoping for donations from corporate companies to help I with some travel but until then, all expenses are grouped into here.
The exact days are still to be determined due to Mac and his medical necessities. Thanks for all of your support, please be sure to forward and pass this on onto all of your social media, and make sure everyone knows the unique story of Randyland.

**Even though we reached our goal, LETS KEEP GOING for Randy & Mac**
