Hi, We are the Roddom kids and we are fundraising for our dad, Ross Roddom. We are asking for any help with donations and support for our dad's ride to recovery, medical bills, therapy bills, and ongoing doctor visits.

Our dad, Ross, has had a tough time battling large cell lymphoma cancer. He beat his first diagnoses and then got hit with the news the cancer had returned. Ross was originally diagnosed with large cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the fall of 2022, he went through several rounds of chemo and was in remission. Unfortunately this past fall the lymphoma returned and was found in his brain. He has gone through a long extensive chemo treatment and received a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, when it came time to do his bone marrow transplant, Ross came down with RSV and some other issues that left his body fighting without an immune system (white blood cells). Ross was also diagnosed with pneumonia after receiving his bone marrow transplant and spent 11 days in the ICU fighting to get healthy. His white blood cells counts have slowly started to replenish but with all of his setbacks he has been in the hospital longer than planned, with a long road ahead of him. Ross will have many follow up appointments with his doctors and will also need to enter a rehabilitation facility once he is discharged from the hospital for Physical and Occupational therapy as he has lost the majority of his muscle mass and will need to build his strength before going home to continue his road to recovery. Having two cancer diagnoses back to back with a knee replacement in between has forced Ross to to take many months off work to fight this battle with the burden of also try to stay on top of all his medical bills and we would love to help ease this burden. Ross is a loving father, brother, husband, son, and Grandpa. There have been many tears during this time watching our dad fight as hard as he can and he just wants to be home laughing with family and riding his horse on the mountain again.
