The Need
Tony is a 21-year-old in the prime of his life, but on January 11th his world was completely changed. He was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. The doctors wanted to start chemo immediately, so he began having treatments every other week. This treatment took a toll on him both physically and mentally. He had to stop working and wrestling due to the side effects of the chemo. Wrestling is his number one passion and not being able to participate was very difficult for him. He also started losing his very long hair which was difficult but selflessly he donated to Locks of Love.
On April 22nd he had his second PET scan and was told he is in remission. He did however have to continue chemo every other week until July 2nd. His family is so very thankful that he seems to be better, however being out of work for 6 plus months the medical bills continue to accumulate. Funds raised through sales of this design will help relieve some of his financial burden while he is trying to fully recover.
