John’s rapidly progressing disease has impaired every aspect of his life. Following multiple tests and unsuccessful treatments, John was accepted a

t Northwestern memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL for a procedure that is accompanied by astronomical cost. John lives in Ebensburg with his wife, Kirsten and two young children, Ayden and Gabriella.

Only 10 days until the Hoops for Hope basketball tournament.

John and Kirsten are in Chicago and could use some prayers.

John was unable to get the full chemo regiment because he developed pneumonia and became very weak. The stem cells were transplanted yesterday and the hope is that the process will still be a success.

This was pretty hard news for them to hear but they remain faithful and are trying to stay strong. So we are asking for everyone's prayers. Also, please post positive thoughts and well wishes along with any jokes and/or funny stories. It would be nice if we could all help raise John's spirits and try to make him laugh like he has done for us so many times!!

Thanks everyone for your continued support. It means so much!!
