Meet Mike and his wife Lisa. This Spring they're going to welcome a son. Their first child. They're very excited.
(To view a clip of Mike and Lisa telling their story, click here)
But their excitement was thrown a curve ball a few months ago when Mike was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). It's a form of cancer. To beat it, Mike needs a bone marrow transplant.
Mike is fighting to stay alive. But while he's fighting to stay
alive, he's worried about Lisa, the baby and the costs associated.
Mike is too sick to work, and soon, Lisa will be on maternity
leave for a year. In Canada, we're fortunate to have some assistance
while on maternity leave, but it's not enough to support the family.
Also, Mike and Lisa are looking into treatment options not available in Canada. Meaning out-of-pocket expenses abroad.
Mike and Lisa's friends want to help them raise money to cover the costs associated with having a baby and prepare them for additional medical costs then might face.
If you're able to help, we would very much appreciate it.
