Rob Richeson
Thank you all for your donations to our previous fund. Unfortunately, we are asking you to help another one of our own, Robert Richeson. Rob recently received news that he has a Neuroendocrine Tumor. It’s somewhat rare. It’s a slower not as aggressive tumor.
Back in 2016 he had a game at Baylor and had bad abdominal cramping. He got checked out when he got home and they didn’t find anything. The same thing happened in 2017 at Boise and he did the same thing, came home and got checked out. They did blood and CT scan but didn’t find it. Each year it continued happening but more frequently. He went back in a few times, but finally this past May they saw the tumor. He had surgery to remove the tumor and it was tested and it’s was a Neuroendocrine tumor. He's continuing testing and recently got into MD Anderson Cooper in Houston, a medicinal center that deals with this type of tumor.
While it is great that he was accepted into MDAnderson in Texas we know that this will come with a financial burden. We are asking you all to keep Rob in your thoughts and prayers. We also ask that you please donate in order to help relieve Rob of some of his financial stress.
***update*** Rob is able to work football this season and we hope with the help of the medical team at MD Anderson that he will be working many seasons to come!
Thank You!
