Help Chad Kick Cancer's A$$!
Donation protected
Hello, I am writing on behalf of Chad Pranke, and his fight against cancer.
In February, Chad noticed his neck was swelling up on the right side. He initially thought he pulled a muscle or was fighting off an infection. The next week, the swelling increased. By the third week, the swelling had doubled in size. He went to the doctor to get his neck examined. The doctor ordered Chad an ultrasound. The ultrasound came back with abnormal test results which led to a biopsy. Unfortunately, the biopsy came back cancerous. On 02/24/2023, Chad was diagnosed with Stage 2 Squamous Cell Cancer. Thankfully, the cancer is treatable. With that being said, the road to recovery will not be pleasant or pretty. Chad has quite the battle ahead of him with needing to undergo multiple sessions of chemotherapy and radiation; the anticipated time frame will be around 5 months from beginning to end. During treatment, Chad will not be able to work for more than half of that time. As we all know, bills do not stop for life-changing events. He has already been faced with medical bills piling up and that does not include the treatment plan he has in store for him. With being out of work, there will be no source of income for Chad to pay his medical bills, mortgage, and monthly bills.
Anyone and everyone who knows Chad, knows he would do anything in his power to help anyone in need. Chad is a loving father, grandfather, boyfriend, friend, and human being! He works hard and has worked hard his whole life to get where he is. Chad loves playing softball, riding his motorcycle, hunting, and spending time with his dog, Dixie. He has a great sense of humor and can put a smile on anyone’s face. Let’s put a smile on his face and show him the love and support he has standing beside him.
With a long and hard fight ahead of him, we want to help Chad financially, take some stress off, and let him focus on fighting this battle. Any amount you can or are willing to donate, helps!
We will continue to update as everything progresses with Chad's treatment. Thank you for all your support, thoughts, prayers, and all the positive vibes you've sent along to Chad!
