What Happened
Hockey legend Ron Duguay, known for his time with the New York Rangers, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer originating in his colon. His family announced the diagnosis and the subsequent need for financial assistance through a GoFundMe campaign, which aims to raise $26,000 to cover treatment costs.
Why It Matters
Duguay, 68, has been battling cancer for over a year, during which he has lost his appendix and gallbladder. His daughter Shay revealed that the financial burden of ongoing treatments and travel for care has become overwhelming. The GoFundMe page has already raised over $31,000, reflecting the community’s support for the former athlete who has always been known for helping others.
What’s Next
As Duguay continues his fight against cancer, he will require bi-weekly travel from Florida to Orange County for treatment. His family hopes that the funds raised will alleviate some of the financial strain associated with his medical care and holistic therapies. The public’s response to the fundraising effort highlights the impact of Duguay’s legacy and the support from fans and friends during this challenging time.
