Due to the aggressive nature of this type of cancer, angiosarcoma, Ryan’s doctors have elected to have him continue with weekly chemotherapy for at least 6 months in an effort to keep his cancer from spreading further.

The Humphrey Family continues to need financial assistance to continue this lifelong fight.  Between traveling to NYC, Rochester, and Houston for consultations and scans, weekly prescription copayments, weekly local consultation copayments, and many other medical expenses, they had to spend $20,000 last year alone.  Of course, this is on top of our everyday “normal” expenses.

Together, we can help them focus on healing rather than the financial strain caused by this dreadful disease.

To date, Ryan has lost his entire left lung (surgically removed) to angiosarcoma, and has endured 32 rounds of intensive chemotherapy.  He has done this all while trying to live a "normal" life with his wife of 6 years, Andrea, and together raising two boys, Landon (3) and Logan (1).

Thank you for all of your continued love, prayers, and support.  Last year there were 144 golfers.  Let's make the second annual the best outing yet!
