With the approval of the mods, I am posting a link to a Go Fund Me page to help a friend of mine with his medical expenses and loss of work due to his recent diagnosis of advanced throat cancer. Even though tensions can run high here between us members from time to time, it's this same board that generously comes together in times of need and concern. The positive thing here is that the doctors are saying this is treatable. What that ultimately means, I don't know. But we are looking at it as if this is just a bunch of crap Scott has to deal with until he's cancer free and back with his two boys fishing and surfing https://www.gofundme.com/5ooxk1s There is also talk among a group of us, Scott's friends to hold a benefit show and benefit auction in the coming future. When I get more details, I will post. Until then, if you feel inclined to donate, please do. Obviously any amount helps. If not, I get it. You don't know him. There's no pressure and there certainly isn't any judgement. Anyway, there you have it. Thanks to the mod(s) for allowing this post. And, thanks to the board for your time. - J
Godspeed, brother... Both you and Scott will be in my prayers. My ex was just diagnosed with breast cancer... and the fact that she is my ex puts limits on what I can do (I wouldn't, for example, get to drop everything and fly there for moral support: my wife likely would not understand or be OK with that.) But thank God my ex has excellent care that she is covered for, and at least I can fly our daughter out there to be with her. Long way of saying that I've been eager for something else I could do to help kick cancer's ass, so thank you for the opportunity to help Scott, even in a small way.
