Help With Michael's Medical Expenses

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Anita, and I'm fundraising for my friend Michael Rask. For those of you that share the joy in knowing him, you know his vibrant smile can light up any room, and he can make a connection with anybody. Michael and I first met over 10 years ago playing volleyball, and we still bond over the game to this day. He's the most competitive person I know, and that's why I know he will beat this next challenge in life.


Last week, Michael's world was turned upside down -- he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Even with insurance, Michael is now facing unexpected medical bills for his surgery in early May and procedures related to his treatment. Additionally, he will need to take time off work to recover. With everything Michael is facing, the last thing I want him to worry about is finances.


Michael is like a brother to me - from hours playing scratch offs & pepper, traveling together in Poland & Dubai, a brief stint as coworkers moving freight, and every memory and laugh in between. I know Michael has such a large community behind him. Thank you so much for any support you're able to provide to help Michael focus on the important challenge ahead -- beating cancer and making a full recovery!


Feel free to share this fundraiser to help meet our goal.
