    [Engaged] A Friend of Mine Fighting Terminal Cancer

    A friend of mine from college has been fighting terminal cancer for the last few years, and they've been dealing with some financial struggles so I decided I'd share his fundrazr page. I understand if no one is able to donate but I wanted to share it anyways, he's a good friend who really helped out when I was first getting off the ground in school.

    He worked for 25 years as a social worker before he switched to a career in IT which is where I met him. Midway through completing his diploma he was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer, he still managed to finish school and was able to work for a bit... Unfortunately it has made it difficult for him to find work and him and his family have struggled financially.

    I also apologize, I haven't sat today, but I wanted to share this before I forgot again.

    No one expects cancer, even fewer expect prostate cancer before 50, and even fewer expect it to be advanced stage 4 when it it found. I'm a full time father of two, who has been trying to work and fight cancer at the same time.
