Patty and Brian Hoenig

Dear Brigade Friends,

Unfortunately, I have some very unwelcome news to share with you. Brian and Patty are now facing the 5th recurrence of head and neck cancer in the past 6 years. At this point, options for treatment are unknown with all the extensive treatment Brian has undergone in the past. Their best chance for the most advanced treatment options and/or clinical trials is to return to the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

They really did not want to reach out and ask for assistance as you have all been so generous whenever there was an ask for assistance. So, they have tried very had to figure out a way to cover the upcoming costs themselves. As it stands now, they will be traveling to Houston February 6th-12th. But there could be an extension and/or more more visits to be scheduled in the future depending upon the treatment options presented. They have reached out and been selected for the Angel Flights to and from Houston so there will be no cost for airfare this time. And the awesome McCleary-Davis family (Emily McCleary-Davis and Bruce Mcclary-Davis) have offered to open their lovely home to host them again during their stay. Unfortunately, they are still going to be facing significant costs for medical tests, co/pays and deductibles as the new insurance year has just begun.

So please pray for good options, good outcomes and consider donating to help defray the extensive costs coming their way. Thank you all for being such a wonderful group of friends and family who are ready to help our warriors fight this battle anyway we can!
