KillCo Family Fundraiser (Cancer Sucks!)
Donation protected
Greetings, my name is Brian Killavey
November is pancreatic cancer awareness month, something that I became aware of just over one year ago. The reason I became aware of it, was because my father had recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Thankfully because of treatments he is still putting up a goof fight.
This year however my family got more unwelcome news, my mother was diagnosed with early-lung cancer. My mother already had surgery and we are all just thankful it was caught early.
My knee jerk reaction over a year ago when my mother told me about my fathers diagnosis was "What should I do". I felt helpless and angry at the same time and felt there was nothing I could do to help.
But there is something I can do, I can ask for help. The fundraiser I did last year blew the original goal out of the water. I am constantly dumbstruck by how supportive the online whiskey community is. And I am very grateful to have found myself among those who want to decrease world suck. And lets face it, cancer sucks!
Every $5 donated to this gofundme with get your name entered to win some amazing prizes at the end of November. Thank you everyone who enters and and helps to spread the word!
The money will truly help my family through the serious financial difficulties that come with fighting off cancer.
