A friend of the community needs help.

Gordy has insurance however he is required to pay his out-of-pocket expenses, $6,000, prior to treatment.
Gordy was diagnosed with Colon cancer in January 2012. He went through surgery and months of chemo and was expecting to hear good news when he went for a follow-up. Instead, he was diagnosed again with colon cancer in January 2013.

The association is also selling raffle tickets for a Mossberg 270 with a scope or $400.
