Carolyn Whitelaw hasn't added a story.
As you all know, Peter is not well. The severity of his condition, or
the bravery he has exhibited fighting this thing for over four years
can hardly be expressed with simple words. The experience of
discovering a grave illness, yet continuing to function as a
professional, a loving husband and father, just as a human being, is
beyond commendable.
Unfortunately, in the past year, things
took a turn for the worst. His ailment spread further and further,
forcing him to leave work and undergo additional surgeries, along with
continuing ongoing oncological and other medical procedures. While his
spirits are high, the medical professionals’ prognoses are nothing
short of grim for the coming months.
Peter has a wish, which he hopes comes true very soon - to
visit Switzerland, the country that he loves as his second home. He
wants to visit all the friends he has made over the years and spend
some time with family members. He would like to walk the shore of the
Oberblegi Lake, up in the high mountain area of Braunwald one more
time. A modest desire of a person that has been through a lot, truly.
The obstacle in his way is funding the ongoing medical
treatments he requires. As you can imagine, the healthcare system in
our country and the world is far from simple. It turns out that in
order to receive dialysis treatments, something essential to his
everyday bodily functions, he would have to pay out of pocket, which
will definitely add up to be a hefty sum.
We was hoping to take this opportunity to ask you to pledge any
amount of money you can towards making Peter’s wish come true. Agnes,
Barbara, Marina or David would not address this subject, unless
absolutely necessary. Currently, we are doing everything possible to
let Peter have this experience, both by financial means, or through
arranging this trip and accompanying him.
