Brothers Fighting Cancer Together
Donation protected
Hello I am Roann 5/7 raising funds for my brothers cancer battles. My eldest brother 1/7 is the leader of all 7 of us siblings. Mike is a great man. He has always put his family, friends and bowling community before himself. He was the owner of The Bowlers Shop in a few locations around central Indiana. He has been a dedicated son, brother, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend and advocate in the community. He has been raised funds for 35 + years for the Gateway Bowling League helping those with disabilities prosper, funding raising and supporting in the Anderson community. He is gruff and ridged but underneath all of that is a heart of gold would has literally shared his last meal and given his last dollar to those in need. He has never been one to ask for help but always first inline to help anyone in need. Brother 4/7 Roger is a Marine Veteran and follows big brothers foot steps. Roger has 3 children and recently became a grandfather of a little boy and will soon be seeing his little granddaughter born. He is in California in the LA area and has his own business as well. Being a mobile mechanic taking on repairs for the community for those who need a great man to complete the jobs. As individuals who are self employed they both work more hours than relaxing and squeezing in time for family. Now with both of my Bubbies diagnosed with different cancers they need our help. Being self employed in this economy is extremely difficult to navigate and being covered without putting a financial burden on yourself is difficult to say the least. I don’t want to see them without. The insurance that is covering isn’t enough to cover it all. There also added expenses of travel, medications required it. It covered, with the case of Roger traveling miles away and staying at a facility that isn’t covered, meals and gas without him working is also difficult. With Mike the same will hold true until he is sent else where. Mike or Roger not working or not able to work because of treatments they will lose what they have left. I don’t wish to see them like this. Both have put in brave faces saying they are “ok” “I’m fine” but when you are the 5/7 you know them. You know that they are being strong and stubborn and don’t wish anyone to worry or go out of their way. I am asking for you to go out of your way. If you know my brothers and family you know we are hard working and help out everyone. Please help them out. Don’t let cancer take away my hero’s. I love them dearly as my other siblings do as well 6/7; 3/7; 6/7 & 7/7. We beat this we are all getting tattooed from my daughter with these number. Thank you - thank you - thank you. ❤️
