Help Kimberly raise money

After a courageous battle with lung cancer in 2022, which Raymond—lovingly known as “Dodo” to his grandchildren—overcame, came the news no one ever wants to hear. Three years later, the cancer returned, this time as pancreatic cancer.

Dodo has fought this new battle with every ounce of strength and heart he has, determined to live life to the fullest each and every day. What began as Stage 1 quickly advanced to Stage 4 and spread to three other areas. In just two months and eight hospital stays since April, he has now entered hospice care—but that hasn’t stopped him from smiling, joking, and bringing laughter to those around him.

He still has several goals he’s determined to reach:

 •First and foremost, to spend as much precious time as possible with his beloved family—especially his grandchildren, who bring him so much joy.

 •Second, to celebrate 50 years of bringing Christmas magic to others, donning his red velvet suit and spreading cheer with his signature “Ho, Ho, Ho!”

 •And finally, to keep hope alive for a cure, so that one day no one will ever have to hear the words, “You have cancer.”
