Rick Anderson Fundraiser
*Boost cap of $1000 per donor ($5000 gift)
Update March 2023: With a heavy heart we report that Rick passed away on March 6, 2023. In lieu of a funeral, the family plans to do a celebration of life in spring. Memorial donations would help his loved ones pay for medical and other related expenses.
Rick first battled cancer in 2019 when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After treatment and surgery in Fargo, he was referred to the Mayo Clinic. The additional treatment and surgery was successful at removing the cancer, but resulted in the loss of his stomach and spleen which created additional challenges. On September 11 of 2022, Rick was hospitalized when his partner found him unresponsive. While inpatient, a brain tumor was found. Following steroid treatment to reduce swelling, the tumor was removed. The tumor was diagnosed as glioblastoma unrelated to the pancreatic cancer. Rick was not able to return to work due to fatigue, mobility and memory issues. Although physically and financially challenging, Rick elected to continue treatment to allow him more time with his partner Dennis, his 2 grown children, and 2 beautiful grandchildren.
A donation made online to Rick through this fundraiser will be boosted 20% by Lend A Hand Up. 100% of gifts made online through this fundraiser will go to the bank fund established for Rick’s benefit. Cash/Check gifts are also appreciated but should be made directly to Dennis Jackson and dropped by Gate City Bank | 1501 S University Dr | Fargo, ND 58103.
