Please help Lewis Turner

We all know and love our dear friend and family member Lewis Turner. Unfortunately Lewis has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive and potentially fatal eye cancer called Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Lacrimal Gland. (Click link for details)
With this type of cancer the treatment is typically extreme because doctors remove the eye and the bone behind the eye completely to prevent the cancer from returning and spreading. The cancer has remained stable in Lewis' eye and has not spread throughout his body yet. The concern is, if it's left untreated for too long because of its aggressiveness it may spread.
Doctors feel they can remove the cancer from Lewis' eye without having to remove his eye and bone by using a "Proton Beam" because of the stage in which the cancer is at. Lewis' local doctor advised him to have the treatment done by the specialists at the MD Anderson Center in Houston, TX because they focus specifically on treating Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Lacrimal Gland. Since the treatment center is in Houston Lewis' insurance company told him he would be considered outside his "coverage area" by going down there for treatment. Which means they will not cover any of his expenses.
In short, Lewis needs this Proton treatment immediately if he has any chance to preserve his eye and maintain his quality of life! Since the insurance company is denying him coverage Lewis and his family will have to take on the financial load all by themselves. Because of that, Lewis desperately needs ALL of our love, support and help financially to make this treatment possible and to help him get over this tough hurdle in life.
Please donate what ever you can, anything at this point is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
