Many of you know Kevin Deaton, tennis enthusiast, expert racket stringer, dedicated sales associate, and dear friend to all of us at Forever Tennis.
Recently, Kevin, 61, received the difficult news that he’s been diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer, one of the most aggressive forms of cancer. In the coming weeks, he’ll undergo major surgery to remove part of his pancreas, spleen, and the tumor itself. After that, Kevin will face months of chemotherapy, countless appointments, and a long road to recovery, all in the hope of keeping the cancer from returning.
This journey will be challenging, but if anyone has the strength, positivity, and heart to fight through it, it’s Kevin. He’s been a bright light to everyone who knows him on and off the court.
We’ve started a GoFundMe to help Kevin and his family through this difficult time with medical expenses and recovery costs. Every donation, share, and kind word makes a difference. https://gofund.me/0f3961672
