Do it for Coach B!

Albert Burrell, or Coach B. as many people know him, is a true gem of a person. His kindness knows no bounds. To his friends and colleagues, he's a loyal, caring teammate; to the students and kids he works with, he's there to offer endless encouragement while coaching them to believe in themselves; and to his family, he's a safe place for them to confide.

In December of 2022, Coach B. was diagnosed with cancer. At the time he was told that the cancer had been found in his prostate and, after a round of radiation, they would schedule a PET scan to check for spreading. In March, he had that PET scan and found that the cancer had spread and is now in stage 3. He is now preparing for the hardest battle of his life. Having to be both a coach and a player in this battle, his road ahead will be anything but easy.

He has already finished with one round of radiation and is preparing for a second round that starts on April 18. During this time, he will go 5 days a week for radiation treatments to help slow the spread of his cancer. His doctors have told him that the toll the treatments will take on his body will make it nearly impossible for him to continue to work. On May 18, he'll prepare for surgery during which, doctors will hopefully go in and cut out what's left of the cancer, which will again leave him incapable of working.

Here's where we all take our turn on his team. During his first round of radiation, he exhausted his PTO. He has rent, bills, and transportation to and from radiation (he has been told that he will be too weak to drive himself) to pay for and soon no way in which to pay for it. If coach has helped you in anyway, please pay it forward and help him out. Send this GoFundMe far and wide. Let's help Coach fight his battle with cancer.
