Help Kent Beat Cancer!

Donation protected
My name is Tiffany and I am raising money to help cover growing medical expenses for my dad who is currently on chemo to battle Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes, liver, and bones.

On Saturday, April 13th I will be hosting a fundraiser at Farrell’s Extreme Bodyshaping Altoona from 7:30am-11am. We will have silent auction items, food, and fun for a good cause. There will also be a Kickathon from 7:30 to 9:30 followed by an hour of full-body strength training from 10 to 11 for anyone that wants to join!

My dad is an absolutely amazing person. He didn’t just step into the father role in my life…he dove in and has always made me feel like his own since day one. He restored my heart on how a father should be and now it’s my turn to help him. Once the $20,000 goal is met, I will invite the top donor and my dad to the gym to buzz my hair off on a live. I know that money will help put a dent in the already piling up medical bills and want to try to make it happen.

Please help my family in any way that you can. Even just spreading the word can move mountains!

Here is my dad’s full story from my mom:
My family needs prayers, a lot of prayers. Kent & I talked and he decided to let me post about something very personal. In 2017 Kent was diagnosed with Clear Cell Renal Cell Cancer. They removed part of the kidney. 2020, it was in the other kidney. Another partial nephrectomy. 2021, brought a new cancer, Neuroendocrine Carcinoma in his Pancreas. This cost him 30% of his pancreas and his spleen. Several checkups later, they found the cancer had moved to the liver and has now metastasized to lymph nodes and ribs. This brought an “upgrade” to stage 4. Through all of this, Kent has remained asymptomatic until September when he started having extreme pain that required hospitalization for pain management. 4 times in 2 months. We have had even more hospital stays in 2024 and now chemotherapy. I know not everyone knows my husband, but he is an amazing human. He works 50+ hours at his job, has built me a home, makes repairs at my restaurant, helps our children and parents with whatever they need fixed, finds time to love on our Grandbabies, and puts up with me and my sass! With all this being said, we are asking for prayers. Prayers for healing. Prayers that this treatment will work. Prayers for this cancer to F off!!
