Supporting Robbie McEachern and Family
Donation protected
We ask for your prayers and financial help for Robbie and his family: wife Courtney, son Jonny (age 4) and Peach (age 2) as they deal with Robbie's cancer diagnosis.
Rob was first diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in April of 2017. Jonathan was only 1.5 and Courtney was pregnant with Alexandra. Between then and now, he has battled and fought through 3 different months-long chemotherapy treatments and 3 massive surgeries (tumor resection/fibula removal, lung lumpectomy & lung wedge resection). Through it all, he has kept working, caring for his family and kept his amazing optimistic outlook.
This spring we received the devastating news that the tumor had traveled to several organs, putting him in stage 4, metastatic. He kept fighting and tried to get on a clinical trial for one-last shot. Unfortunately, the tumors were too aggressive and nothing helped. Rob was diagnosed terminal on May 26th.
To know Robbie is to love Robbie. He has a larger-than-life personality, whose smile, boisterous voice and laughter is only matched by the size of his heart. He is a social butterfly and makes friends with anyone that crosses his path. His love of the Ducks is the only thing that comes close to that of his love for his family and friends. He is an amazing, son, brother, husband, father and friend. The time he has here with us all is cruelly short, but the legacy of love that he is leaving will last a lifetime.
In this time, Robbie and family are doing their best to prepare, but also see all the people and things that Rob loves so much. He even made his way to his beloved Autzen stadium one last time. Rob is now at home in hospice and we are doing our best to keep him comfortable, pain-free, with lots of love from family and friends in the time he has left.
The family has been offered a ton of help, but Courtney will need to sort out how to manage everything after Rob passes. We want to raise money so Robbie's time left can be spent focusing on spending time with his friends and family and not worrying about finances. The best way to help is through this Gofundme. The different costs that will need to be managed - funeral expenses, childcare, meal delivery services, future children expenses and a college fund for Jonny and Peach. Please donate what you can to help this amazing man, that has made such an incredible impact in so many of our lives.
