Help Greg Fulmer "#FinishCancer"

Donation protected
My brother, Greg Fulmer, is a cool cat!   He's an easy going,  fun loving guy - a great son, brother and friend.   He lives life to it's fullest, as many of you who have shared adventures with him know so well. 

Unfortunately, the adventures for Greg are temporarily on hold.

Greg was diagnosed with Cancer (Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma) in January 2018.   At the recommendation of his oncologist, Greg participated in a clinical trial.   His treatment included radiation, surgery and an experimental drug for his form of Cancer (only 4 people nationwide were part of this clinical trial; all in Portland;  Greg has the most significant complications).    Due to the complications, Greg has been in and out of the hospital for the last few months, and as of today, he has been in the hospital for over  a month. 

At this time, there is no definitive treatment plan as Greg's oncologist and the team of specialists' who have been assembled, are unable to identify what's causing the complications.  

Cancer is a beast; on the body, on the mind, and on the wallet.

Since starting treatment, Greg has been unable to work  for a total of 4 months, and counting.   Unfortunately he wasn't with his current employer long enough to be eligible for paid medical leave, resulting in 4 months of no income.

Despite having insurance,  his medical expenses continue to mount, and without any income, the level of stress continues to mount as well. 

It takes a lot of courage to battle cancer, and it also takes a lot of courage to ask for financial help. (this is not easy)  I'm asking for your help on behalf of Greg.  The donations collected here will help cover medical costs.  One of his larger medical bills is $9,000 with many more medical bills to be paid.   Anything you can contribute, regardless of how small, is greatly appreciated.  Prayers and positive thoughts are equally appreciated.

We appreciate your friendship and your thoughtfulness.

Despite the challenges Greg has faced over the last 8 months, there is  still a sense of optimism that life will return to normal.  Because that's life, right?  We are faced with challenges, and just when we think we can't possibly take it any longer,  we cross the finish line with a banner that reads  "#ICanFinishCancer".  And from that challenge, a greater strength and purpose is born.

Health, normalcy AND adventures await Greg!
