The Bill Kistner Cancer Fund




As many of you know, our friend Bill Kistner has terminal cancer. I spoke to his wife Wendy yesterday, and I asked how Bill was doing. She said that the cancer is spreading and Bill is not doing so well. He recently had some tests done, and the Oncologist’s report showed that he has more tumors developing in his lungs and that he has also developed a tumor on his liver. She mentioned that Bill simply wants to do two things while he is able, and before he gets too ill. Bill really would like to go to the AA Founders weekend in Akron, OH in June. He would also like to go to Niagra Falls. In order for him to do this, he would need to rent an RV as he cannot travel well due to the colorectal cancer. Traveling this way, he can also use the bathroom and shower without concern. He also gets tired and needs naps, and can have his dietary needs met with less disruption. Seeing Bill fight cancer is an inspiration to us all. We all have the ability to make his final wish come true. Terminal cancer is hard enough on Bill and his family, not to mention the burden of financial worries. The fact that one of his final wishes is to attend the AA Founders weekend speaks volumes about Bill’s character and integrity, as well as his priorities in life. Please donate whatever you can to The Bill Kistner Cancer Fund so that we can make his wish come true as well as help his family during this difficult time. Bless all of you that donate, no amount is too small, and collectively we can all make a difference. The greater the donation you can make will of course help us get closer to making Bill’s wish come true. Again Bless you all, you really can make a difference.
