Support Patrick Strain and His Family

As many of you in the Longview community know, one of our own, Patrick Strain, was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer. Patrick is an integral part of the Golf Team at The Club at Longview. He will mark 19 years at Longview in October. We have all grown to know and love Patrick over the many years.

He began experiencing symptoms 3-4 months ago. Thankfully, there is no evidence of cancer in other organs.

However, Patrick will need treatment, starting with 5 1/2 weeks of radiation and oral chemotherapy medication. Then he will begin a 3-drug course of oral and infused chemotherapy for four months, followed by surgery to remove the tumor and part of the colon. Then another surgery will follow. Overall, more than a 9-month process.

We want to help Patrick and his family as much as possible to cover medical bills and whatever the family may need.

Please show your love and support to them. No amount is too little, and any amount is appreciated.

Most importantly, give your prayers. Prayers for not only Patrick but also for Melanie and the boys.
