Pete was diagnosed with Glioblastoma — a rare and highly aggressive form of brain cancer — on May 12th, 2025. Since that day, life has changed in ways none of us could have prepared for. What began as uncertainty quickly turned into a difficult journey filled with hospital visits, treatments, and emotional challenges for Pete and everyone who loves him. About three weeks ago, Pete received the heartbreaking news that his time may be limited, with doctors estimating roughly three months to live. No family is ever ready to hear words like that.
Pete is more than a diagnosis — he is a beloved friend, family member, and source of strength and kindness to those around him. He has always been someone who shows up for others, offers a steady hand, and brings warmth and humor even in difficult moments. Now, he and his loved ones are facing overwhelming emotional and financial strain as they focus on comfort, care, and making the most of every remaining day together.
The financial burdens that come with serious illness — medical expenses, lost income, travel, and daily living costs — have added another heavy layer to an already painful situation. This support effort is meant to ease some of that weight, allowing Pete and his family to spend less time worrying about bills and more time focusing on what truly matters: being together, creating meaningful moments, and surrounding Pete with love and dignity.
Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing this message, means more than words can express. Thank you for helping bring comfort, relief, and compassion during this incredibly difficult time.
