Rangers Legend Duguay Battles Stage 4 Cancer
25 Feb
Summary
- Former Rangers player Ron Duguay is fighting stage 4 cancer.
- His daughters started a GoFundMe for his extensive medical costs.
- He travels bi-weekly for treatment and is exploring options abroad.
Former NHL player Ron Duguay, aged 68, is currently undergoing treatment for stage 4 cancer, which originated in his colon. His daughters, Shay Thomas and Amber Stavros, established a GoFundMe campaign on Tuesday, February 24, to assist with the mounting expenses associated with his ongoing battle.
Duguay travels from Florida to Orange County every two weeks for treatment, a journey that has been financially overwhelming. The GoFundMe details that his daughters initiated the fundraiser because their father, who has been unable to work consistently, has always been self-reliant and hesitant to ask for financial aid.
The funds raised will cover travel, medical care, and alternative healing therapies. Recently, Duguay's cancer indicators have increased, prompting the family to explore treatment options beyond the United States, which are very costly. As of the fundraiser's launch, it had garnered nearly $21,000 towards its $26,000 goal.
