Racer Needs Help
 
Longtime west coast Stock/Superstock racer Ken Etter is in need of some help.
He has a form of cancer that is very aggressive and will be receiving chemo
treatments. He will be in and out of the hospital and unable to work. We all
know this will be expensive and not everything will be covered by insurance.
There is a Go Fund Me account set up, If you can help with a donation it would
be greatly appreciated

I just heard the terrible news at the Winters.

A great guy and he is a friend of our whole family.

His father (Al Etter) was my best friend and one of sharpest
Stock racers until he passed a few years back.

Ken and his Dad both taught us really a lot about racing.

Prayers sent and writing this thru my tears!

May GOD put his healing hand on Ken and send comfort to his family and many friends during this trying time. Ken and family added to my prayer list.

Don, thanks for posting the link to Kens Go Fund Me account.
That makes it real easy to donate. I did not know how to link it.

Contributed and shared link on my FB page, added him and his family to our prayer list. Lets not stop at his goal, they will need much more than their goal of 10K.

Gregg special thanks to both you and Verna for making this happen. This can happen to any of us. Hope it far exceeds the initial goal, those treatments ain't cheap and the bills never stop rolling in.

Done and my prayers for a full recovery, God bless!

Ken,
Could this have a "sticky" until the goal is reached?
Thanks,

I talked with Kenny today, he is home at the present time, his mother is there
helping with care.For those that don't know what Mantle Cell Lymphoma is, Google it.We have reached the half way point of our goal[ that is probably to low] in 4 days,that says a lot about how racers take care of each other, your generosity says it all.This is a race for Life, we never lift until the finish line, so lets keep this going until we reach our goal of $10,000.00.

Thank you for sharing Gregg. I donated. Recommend everyone that can, does. Even if you never met Ken - help fellow man. I spoke with him briefly years ago, seemed like a nice guy. Take the time to help someone stay alive. If anything, just knowing people are willing to help can lift his spirits. I wish him the best.

Thanks to Gregg and Verna for spearheading this fine effort to help another racer. This kind of help can't come from better people than they are.

Please have his treatment office contact this Organization

https://www.copays.org/ They covered all of the Chemotherapy Co-Pays for someone I know.

They paid out over $5,000. for treatments. They are funded by Corporations and individuals.

It is called the Patient Advocate foundation / Co PAy relief.

Hope this helps
