12 Months Outs for Erlend Gray (USA)

FORMER NORWEGIAN SOF COMMANDO BATTLING FOR HIS LIFE AND THE 42-YEAR-OLD FATHER OF TWO NEEDS YOUR HELP

Erlend Gray is a 42-year old father of two, special operations veteran, Antarctic explorer and eternal optimist. In February 2023, his doctors gave him 12 months to live as the available treatments in Norway were no longer stopping the spread of his malignant melanoma.

With a lifetime of experience in overcoming challenges in ominous situations, Erlend did what comes naturally – he kept going. His Norwegian medical team told him a new treatment was recently approved by the FDA in the United States and is his last hope for overcoming cancer. Erlend and a close team of family and former teammates are working to get him access to this lifesaving treatment in the U.S.

The treatment, Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, is a new cellular immunotherapy that is only offered at a few U.S. hospitals. Like many new medical treatments, the groundbreaking treatment is cost-prohibitive. Out of pocket expenses are estimated to exceed $500,000 for Erlend and his family and time is of the essence.

As a father of a 1- and 3-year-old, Erlend is a family man and someone who enjoys life. When he learned he had 12 months to live, the Special Forces Operator from Norway's MJK and South Pole explorer aimed to turn a hopeless situation into something solvable. Together, we can help Erlend recover from cancer, so he can continue living and caring for his family.

100% of all contributions to this Go Fund Me will go to Erlend via the HunterSeven Foundation. Any proceeds that exceed Erlend's medical expenses will stay with HunterSeven as the Foundation continues to advocate for veterans and the cancer epidemic impacting the community.
