Fellow Team Member Jeep297 posted a thread on June 27 about his fight with Stage IV colon cancer. Prognosis is not looking good, and as of a couple hours ago, his original thread is tacked in GD. Striker has approved the fundraiser to help his family. Anything you can do to help out is appreciated.

already hit. Let's get this thing up to $25k. Brandon's family deserves it.

Update, Brandon's been moved to hospice, but we have reached the 25k goal, and still going strong.

If you can't donate, shoot him a message, send out prayers. Sucks to see cancer taking another Arfcommer from us at a very young age.

Last I looked was over 32k

28k+ on the giveforward site, member BlackFox sent a money order for 5k which is putting it at 33k+ right now.

If anyone has any baby items they don't need anymore, I know they can use those. Brandon's daughter is only 8 weeks old, and there are things babies need that don't come cheap.

Brandon's part of our family here on Arfcom, so if you can't donate money and have access to usable baby items, hit his wife up, she's a member on here now, and figure out where to send stuff.

FUCK CANCER!!!

bump with bad news. Jeep297 (Brandon Hayslip) passed away today.

May God be with his family during this trying time, and may he find the eternal peace and rest he deserves.
