Please Help the Chapman Family!

Mike is stronger than any of us can imagine and has accomplished a lot so far in his short life. Mike has endured 10 years of battling with serious health complications. He has already beat cancer twice and gone through 5 different major surgeries on his kidneys, lymph nodes, and spine; all before his 34th birthday.

Mike recently had major reconstruction surgery on his spine last summer at John Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. After a long road of recovering, Mike is still fighting the after effects of his surgery (lingering blot clots, constant pain, and permanent weakness in his leg that leaves him disabled).

Through all his trials and struggles, the main drain on Mike and his family has been the financial burden of his medical bills and his ongoing treatments. Mike has stoically accepted all his treatments, therapies, and tribulations all in the name of surviving and doing what he could to be there for his family. Since 2010, Mike has been disabled and unable to work.

Please take a moment to think of not just Mike, but his wife, Meghann, and their two children, Cayla (6 years old) and Dylan (4 years old) and give what you can to help them during this extremely difficult time of need.

Here are some ways you can help the family:
1. Contributions can be made online through the secure PayPal system at:

2. We will be fundraising the FUN way! On Sunday, August, 2013 Janine will be hosting a fundraising party at her home in Pottstown, PA. At the party will be several friends who own their own home businesses. So far we will have sales women from Silpada (silver jewelry), Arbonne (health and beauty products), 31 (personalized bags and other items), Party Girl (adult entertainment products), and Tastefully Simple (kitchen and cooking items). All the vendors have agreed to donate their profits to the family. When the party date gets closer, you can either have a great time and attend the party, or order online to show your support. I will post any links at a later date (and closer to the party time) for people to buy online.

3. You can also mail any cards, well wishes, or donations to the family at:
Mike and Meghann Chapman
31 N. State Street
Warren, PA 19365

4. As always, all prayers and positive thoughts for the family will help!

Somethings Are Worth Fighting For...

Through all his battles and surgeries, Mike never stops thinking of his family. The thought of having to stay away from them for weeks at a time gives him the motivation he needs to keep pushing to get better and go home.
