Benefit for

Brad Ray and Family

In 2006 Brad discovered a lump on his neck and it came back as

cancer. It had spread, so in November of that year he started
chemo that lasted for six months. After 10 years with no sign of
cancer, Brad thought they were in the clear, Brad was told he had
AML which is acute myeloid leukemia. That was caused from the
chemo he received in 2006. He to the U of M where he received 2
rounds of chemo and after the second round the doctors felt Brad
needed a mental health break. They decided they couldnt wait any
longer, so Brad had a bone marrow transplant and was
hospitalized for 27 days which afterwords he spent 100 days in the
hope lodge in Minneapolis. Although the AML is no longer there
he still has CLL which continues to grow. He is also graft vs host,
which is where the transplant is fighting with his 0wn marrow. He
continues to try and work and his spirits are up, but tires easily.
Please keep Brad and Rita in your prayers and if you can help in
anyway please contact Susan Bratsch at 763-232-5370.
