Dear Friends and Family,
We are reaching out on behalf of our dad, John Robinson, a retired firefighter who dedicated his life to protecting our community. He has always been our hero. He has touched more lives than most do in a lifetime. Now, he needs our help.
After many years of hard work, he has looked forward to retiring and enjoying his golden years with his wife Anne of 35 years, 6 kids, granddaughter Grace, and his two side kick pups Finn and Teddy.
Unfortunately, our world was turned upside down recently when he was diagnosed with Bulbar Onset Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This diagnosis has been devastating, as there is no cure and it is 100% terminal.
Our dad has always been there for others, whether it be saving a life, coaching a hockey team, helping with lawn work or buying you a cold beer. Now, it’s our turn to give back and support him during this challenging time. The costs associated with ALS can be overwhelming, including medical treatments, physical therapy, adaptive equipment, and daily care needs.
Our goal is to help alleviate some of these financial burdens and ensure our dad can receive the best care possible and be able to stay in the comfort of his home for the remainder of his life, however long that may be. Every little bit helps, and your support means the world to us.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support during this difficult journey. Together, we can show our dad that he is not alone in this fight.
