Help Tony Mestaz in His Race Against Cancer

Hi, my name is Cameron Davis, and I am starting this campaign on behalf of my uncle, Tony Mestaz, a cherished husband, dedicated father and grandfather, and beloved member of the Kern County communities of Shafter and Bakersfield. At 61, Tony is facing a challenge unlike any of the 106 Spartan races he's heroically completed since 2017. He has been diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma, a battle he is determined to win with the same tenacity and endurance he demonstrates on the race track.

Tony's participation in Spartan races showcases his remarkable resilience and unyielding spirit. He has been a source of inspiration to many, including myself, with his unwavering commitment to tackling obstacles, regardless of their difficulty. Yet, this battle is one he should not have to face alone. The costs associated with fighting cancer, including medical treatments, potential surgeries, and ongoing care, are daunting. Despite insurance coverage, the financial burden on his family is immense, especially as Tony is just beginning his fight and the full scope of his treatment remains unclear.

We are reaching out to ask for your support in helping cover the medical expenses and in providing Tony with the necessary resources to beat lymphoma. Your contribution will significantly alleviate the financial pressure on him and his family, enabling them all to concentrate on Tony's health and recovery. Every donation, no matter the size, will have a profound impact on Tony's journey through lymphoma.

Here's how the funds will be used:

My uncle Tony has always been a pillar for others, providing support, motivation, and leadership by example. Throughout his life he has volunteered his time and resources to his local communities and schools, his church, his family, and the less fortunate. Growing up I witnessed him as he took an interest in the lives of all of his nieces and nephews (including myself) and built them up through affirmation, encouragement, and his signature sense of humor. During the trials and tribulations of my teenage years, my Uncle Tony provided countless words of wisdom and life lessons to me that helped me overcome self-doubt and boldly face my fears. He is one of the most charismatic, charming, and kindhearted people you will ever meet. Now, it's our time to support him. We commit to keeping you informed about Tony's progress and how your generous donations are aiding him in this fight.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, prayers, and words of encouragement. Together, we can help Tony conquer this challenge.

With gratitude,

Cameron Davis, nephew of Tony Mestaz
