Help Dennis Martin fight Stage 3B Colon Cancer

Donation protected
Hello everyone!

We’re rallying around Dennis during one of the toughest battles of our family’s lives.

On March 5th, 2024, our world was turned upside down when Dennis was diagnosed with stage 3B colon cancer during his first colonoscopy at only age 46!

Dennis had major surgery to remove the tumor and had a sigmoid colectomy on March 29th, 2024. Unfortunately pathology results determine it had spread to 3/22 sampled lymph nodes outside his colon.  

Tomorrow May 21st, 2024, marks Dennis’ start of chemotherapy.

If you know Dennis, you know he is a loving father of his four children and an amazing husband! He has always gone above and beyond to give to others.

Dennis is determined to fight this and we are lucky he caught this before it metastasized to other organs.

However, along with the emotional toll, the financial burden of medical expenses is weighing heavily on our shoulders.  

The road to recovery involves ongoing treatments, including CT scans and blood work every four months until Dennis is cured. With a high deductible medical plan, the expenses are adding up quickly, especially with only a portion of his salary the past few months. That’s why we’re reaching out to our community, friends, and compassionate strangers for support. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a difference in Dennis’s fight against cancer.

Your generosity and kindness mean everything t
o us during our fight against cancer. Thank you!!
