Continue Their Journey - Van Doorn

Take a moment to think, what would you do if you heard the words, "you have 2 to 5 weeks left to Live". 
The reality is Ted and Heather Van Doorn just heard those words on December 14, 2015. Ted has been courageously fighting a very agressive case of bladder cancer but doctors are telling him that the cancer has taken over his body.

Within two days on hearing those words, Ted Van Doorn lost his courageous battle with cancer on December 15, 2015.

Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine how it felt to go home and tell their three children, ages 13, 11 and 8 the devestating news.

Now imagine being a child of a parent who lost their battle with cancer. Imagine hearing that your father, who has always been there for you, will not be able to see your first boyfriend or girlfriend, see you off to college, be able to see you grow into a successful young adult, be able to walk you down the isle and will not be able to be there just to support, listen, laugh and cry with you.

This is Max, Fiona and Phoebe's reality. This is something no child should ever have to experience.

I am asking for everyone to help out and provide Max, Fiona and Pheobe with funds to support all of the adventures and needs of a young child. In addition, the funds will provide for all educational needs so they have a chance to experience the opportunities in life that all children should have.

Money will not come close to replacing the experiences with Ted that are being taken from them. However, the funds will ensure they can start the process of healing from this devestation and will financially secure positive life experiences and their education.

What if this happened to you and your family, what would you want for your children?

Ted and Heather have not asked for this fund to be created. We have created this on their behalf because it is the right thing to do.

Ted will always be in our mind, heart and soul.
