On August 14th, our dear friend Chuck received the difficult news of a Stage 2 non-seminoma testicular cancer diagnosis. For those of you who know Chuck, you know he’s a private person, and it’s a sign of his immense strength that he has allowed us to share this with our community.
While his prognosis is positive, the path to recovery is long, and he is far from being out of the woods—though he’d much rather be in them, as any of you who have spent time with him in his favorite place know.
This journey comes with significant financial burdens, from everyday costs to mounting medical and transportation expenses for appointments. Initially, his pride made it hard to ask for help, but with his permission, we are now reaching out.
Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference by allowing Chuck to focus on his health and healing instead of financial stress. If you're unable to donate, we would be incredibly grateful if you would share this fundraiser with your network. Thank you for standing with Chuck in his time of need.
