For those of you who don’t know, this is my fiance, Mike. Two years ago, Mike was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Follicular Lymphoma. He started chemotherapy right away and completed it in December of 2024. Yesterday, he completed round 7 of 8 of his “maintenance chemo” which he’s received every 3 months for the last 2 years.
Luckily, Mikes body has taken treatment well and he currently has “no evidence of disease” but Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma does not go away. It’s something that Mike will be living with the rest of his life.
Organizations like Blood Cancer United help patients like Mike by offering support, funding research, and making impacts on treatment. The drug Mike has been taking for chemo was directly funded by Blood Cancer United.
On September 17th at 5:30pm, the Light the Night walk will take place at the Summerfest grounds. We’ve attended the event the last 2 years and it’s extremely powerful.
If you are able to help us fundraise, there’s a link below! If money isn’t an option for you right now, consider joining us for the walk on the 17th. The more the merrier 🫶🏻 if you have questions on walking or fundraising - please send me a message! We hope to see you there!
