Hey Guys,
A friend of my daughter's is battling melanoma and could use some help. In 5th grade, Ryan wrote Sharlyn her first love letter. :mail1:
She showed it to me and I immediately read it aloud to my friends, which, apparently, totally embarrassed her. :pardon:
Here is his story:
Hello,
My name is Ryan and I'm battling cancer, melanoma specifically. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with Stage 3B melanoma. I celebrated my 26th birthday this last August by being told I had been accepted into an experimental drug trial as there is little to no effective treatment options for my current diagnosis.
I'm a pretty tough guy or at least that's what my jazzercize coach tells me (joke) but my current medication has been somewhat debilitating at times. Since my diagnosis my multiple surgeries/treatments have left me unable to go to school and use my GI bill or work. I plan on going back to school asap but in the meantime I could use some financial help in regards to medical bills and random living expenses.
I've heard that melanoma can be a tough battle but given that fact I don't believe this will be new territory for me. I was a Corpsman for 5+ years and for majority of that time I took care of Marines on and off the battlefield. Anything helps and thanks for reading.
I gave and hope you will too. http://www.gofundme.com/f66jn4?fb_action_ids=10152511300491483&fb_action_types=og.shares (http://www.gofundme.com/f66jn4?fb_action_ids=10152511300491483&fb_action_types=og.shares)
Thank you in advance and additional thanks to my dad and every other soul who has given his time or life in the service of others,
Jeff
Thanks and done....
Thank you Mark! :good2:
