Floyd Gilmore Fund

This last year we found out my mom's cousin, Floyd Gilmore, has brain cancer. He has had the "regular" treatment for it and he was doing OK for a while. Well, he is getting worse and worse as the days pass. He and his family want to send him to Oklahoma to the Camelot Cancer Center to do a more extensive treatment which has been a success in other patients with his type of cancer. However insurance does not pay for this treatment.

Floyd is a wonderful man. He is 44 years old. He and his wife, Brenda, live in Oregon. He would do anything he could for anyone--even a stranger. He is just the nicest, sweetest, funnest, person. Floyd and Brenda have been threw a lot this last year and have sold everything to pay for the cost of doctor's bills, treatments, ect. This new treatment will cost them $10,000. My family has set up a fund for Floyd. Please check it out Floyd's Fund.

We have raised $2,500 so far and need the rest as soon as possible so he can start these treatments. I can not imagine what Floyd or his wife Brenda have been threw. I have known so many people with cancer and my heart truly goes out to them. What a wonderful world we live in now to have such hi-tech technology, and wonderful trained doctors. I am grateful to them.
