Goggin’s challenge to help the Theriault family
Donation protected
I’m participating in the Goggin’s challenge this weekend in honor of my good buddy Jonah and his family. Jonah was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer in July 2018, six months after becoming a father to his son Jace. At the time, the prognosis was that Jonah’s life expectancy would depend on how much chemotherapy and surgeries he could handle. Well, Jonah is a Marine and that Devil Dog started fighting and has been fighting ever since. He has received over 30 doses of chemotherapy and 4 major surgeries in the last 3+ years. Jonah is a true warrior. Sadly, last month they found a new mass on his liver causing him to go into liver failure and the prognosis is not good.
Jonah is such a good dude with a beautiful family and I’m sure they can use any help they can get. So, I’m doing the Goggin’s challenge as a fundraiser to raise money for my homie Jonah’s family, his amazing wife Kelly and their awesome sons Tyler and Jace. My hope is it will be a little bit of light to them in these dark days.
If you can’t donate money, prayers for Jonah and his family are welcomed. If you can donate, I’m asking for my friends and family to sponsor me with any monetary amount.
I’ve attached the details of the challenge if anybody wants to check it out. Starts Friday March 4th at 8pm. If anybody wants to join me on the challenge or on one of my 4 mile legs just hit me up! Let’s Rip It for Jonah!!!
