RockGirlsRock Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It breaks my heart to tell you that Bill's wife of 27 years, Barb, has stage IV cancer that has spread to her brain. She has had a lot of radiation therapy and most recently, a second biopsy that bore grim news. Like so many, they don't have health insurance and the medical bills are piling up. Without help, Bill could lose everything trying to add days to Barb's life.I know Bill as a man who never passes up a chance to help anyone who needs it. I know a lot of you guys know his generosity of spirit. He has given to every one of my fundraisers and it's time for help to come back his way.That's where you and I come in.Bill and some really special friends have donated some meteorite-related items for me to sell to raise money.
