A family in Salmon Am received what a friend described as 香蕉视频直播渢he worst news imaginable香蕉视频直播� recently when they learned their 9-year-old son has a rapidly growing cancer.

Chad Inglis, a Salmon Arm RCMP officer, has started a GoFundMe page, Gage香蕉视频直播檚 Fight, for his co-worker Tyler Penney, and Penney香蕉视频直播檚 family Marlena, Gage, 9, and Savannah, 6.

Inglis said Gage had been experiencing issues with his stomach this past winter and had been in and out of the doctor香蕉视频直播檚 office and emergency department. His stomach was hard and about four times normal size. On the weekend of Jan. 14 he was airlifted to BC Children香蕉视频直播檚 Hospital in Vancouver. A large tumour was found as well as cancer around his stomach walls.

Gage has since undergone two surgeries, along with bone marrow and spinal fluid tests, which resulted in a diagnosis of Stage 3 Burkitt Lymphoma. This means he will receive at least six months of intensive chemo, Inglis said.

Gage is in remarkably good spirits with his parents by his side giving him all of the love humanly possible, Inglis reported.

Inglis and Penney both started their RCMP careers in Kitimat and then transferred to Salmon Arm about seven and six years ago respectively. Inglis speaks highly of Tyler and Marlena.

香蕉视频直播淭yler and Marlena are both proud and humble people, and are the last ones to ever ask for help, but the first ones to offer it. Both are extremely giving people that constantly help those around them. Tyler has been a first responder for over 12 years now and the amount of people he has impacted and helped during his career is immeasurable. Marlena operates her own business, running a Spa full-time (Well香蕉视频直播橲pa) around Tyler香蕉视频直播檚 ever changing shift-work schedule,香蕉视频直播� Inglis wrote on the GoFundMe page.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 completely life changing. They香蕉视频直播檙e basically going to be living down there for the next six months.香蕉视频直播�

Currently, Gage香蕉视频直播檚 parents are staying at Ronald McDonald House while Savanna, in between visits to see her big brother, is with her grandparents in the Fraser Valley.

Because neither Tyler nor Marlena can work now, the funds raised are intended to address financial difficulties so their minds can stay concentrated on helping Gage overcome the disease.

Inglis described the Penneys as a 香蕉视频直播渧ery very good family香蕉视频直播� and said the parents were stubborn about not wanting a fundraiser.

香蕉视频直播淚 had to convince them that they don香蕉视频直播檛 have a say. It香蕉视频直播檚 non-negotiable. This is going whether you like it or not,香蕉视频直播� he smiled.

Inglis added that he doesn香蕉视频直播檛 want to pressure anyone to donate. He said the Penneys very much appreciate the support and they have said they don香蕉视频直播檛 know how they香蕉视频直播檙e going to be able to thank everybody.

香蕉视频直播淭hey香蕉视频直播檙e hurting so they definitely need it. Tyler would have done the exact same thing. It香蕉视频直播檚 a clich茅, but he香蕉视频直播檚 literally one of those people that will do anything to help people, and his wife香蕉视频直播檚 the same way.香蕉视频直播�

Inglis said that along with the , he and other officers at the Salmon Arm detachment have set up a bank account at SASCU under the name Gage Penney, account number 1832047, where 100 per cent of the money will go to the Penney family. The account can be accessed at all four SASCU locations: two in Salmon Arm, one in Sicamous and one in Sorrento. E-transfers can be made to: gagepenneytrust@gmail.com.
