I don't post Go fund me stuff often, ever really....
But this guy is a really good guy I grew up with. I know we all know someone that has been through something like this... but I feel like I should spread the word as much as possible. And the TD network is one of the largest groups of kind hearted people at the core I know.
So if you are interested, my friend John Jones could use your help.

Thank you for visiting John's page. In March of last year John started feeling bad. Being an otherwise healthy male in his 30s it took a while to figure out what was making him ill. After growing increasingly sick throughout the summer, John received a diagnosis of melanoma in July.
Surgery was scheduled for August and an 8.5lb tumor was removed from his abdomen. John continued to fight and receive treatment and in January learned that the cancer had returned.
Currently John is in a clinical trial for a new type of chemo to treat 3 tumors that have surfaced since surgery. He is receiving treatment at Vanderbilt and is required to stay in Nashville for the initial phase of his treatment.
Luckily, John has family in Nashville so a place to stay is covered, but as you can imagine the medical bills continue to pile up. Due to his treatment he had to resign from his job and therefore has no income to cover his medical or everyday expenses. Please consider supporting John financially through this time.
All of the money raised will be used to pay medical expenses, and any other needs that may arise as he moves forward with treatment. The goal was set based on current medical bills as well as estimated future expenses.
Please give - anything helps! If you can't give please share this post and help us reach as many people as possible.

according to what I read 100% of what's donated goes to his medical bills... but??? I didn't set if up or choose this method, so I'm not sure.

Did some googling and it looks like 5-8% depending on donation method, it's a good way to get the word out and a central donation point if you have no other option. as someone said frick CANCER!
