| Jared Hill and Clint Hill Hylton High School Graduation 2014 |
Hi PopPop -- I just found out I have testicular cancer.
Jared was just beginning his senior year of high school. While his friends were attending football games and class parties, Jared was undergoing surgery, followed by chemotherapy. Due to his weakened immune system, his doctors told him he could no longer attend classes, so he had to be home schooled, with limited visitors. It was not the way any young man expects, or wants, to spend his senior year.
Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting young men ages 15 - 35, but it is also one of the most treatable cancers, as long as it is caught early. Treatment is not easy, as Jared learned, and it is expensive.
Jared's family and friends have rallied to help mitigate his mounting medical bills, and on August 9, there will be a fundraiser to help Jared and many others like him who are battling this deadly disease. All are welcome. If you cannot participate, we invite you to contribute either to Jared Hill directly, or to one of the following organizations that have helped Jared and provide support for those like him.
