Luke has always been the life of every outdoor adventure—camping, hiking, and hanging out with his pet bird, Craigy. He’s also a devoted 80s music fan who never fails to bring a smile to friends and family. In November 2023, he was first diagnosed with sciatica and endured months of physical therapy. Unfortunately, just a year later, the pain returned with a vengeance. After an MRI, doctors discovered a ruptured disc pressing on his nerve root, making everyday tasks—like walking or even sitting—excruciating. Now, surgery is the only option to relieve his constant pain and prevent long-term complications. However, the cost of the procedure, potential hospital stays, and post-operative therapy are overwhelming for us. We’re doing our best to juggle everyday expenses, but we need help to give Luke a chance at a pain-free life. We’re asking for your support to cover these medical bills and help Luke recover. Any amount you can spare—even the smallest donation—brings him one step closer to being back on his feet (and back on the trail!). If you can’t donate, simply sharing this link with friends and family is also a huge help. Thank you for reading Luke’s story and for caring. We’re grateful for your kindness and support.
