Al was diagnosed unexpectedly in April 2025 with pancreatic cancer. His diagnosis has caused a whirlwind of medical issues for him. The best news, Al's tumor is operable! Al has undergone six rounds of Chemotherapy, which have left his body weak, but he's still fighting! Al's tumor has shrunk, but not enough for surgery, yet... He now has to undergo more chemo and radiation. Al had to quit working because of the symptoms he was experiencing due to the Chemotherapy. His wife Ulanda, has had to take time off of work, and will likely have to take a lot more time off in the near future to take care of Al as he navigates the additional rounds of chemo and undergoes radiation treatmemts for the first time. She will eventually need time off to help him recover from his extensive surgery. If you know Al and Londi, you know they are the last people to ever ask for help! As their children, we have decided to put together a benefit to lesson the burden of the medical bills that have already started flooding in and give them one less stressor to worry about. During this time Al's health and healing are all we want them to focus on. Please join us on Saturday, November 22, 2025 at the Geneseo Moose Lodge in support of Al's continued fight against pancreatic cancer and to help him and Ulanda during this difficult time.
