John Stewart is Dallas United’s long time treasurer.  He has literally run the financial operations of the organization for years with minimal support in addition to playing for Crude and playing a central role in organizing and running Texas2Finger.  Those of us involved in the organization will never be able to thank him enough for his work over the years.  However, now we have the opportunity to reciprocate the kind of selfless support he has given us.

 The week before Texas Sectionals, John was diagnosed with cancer.  Tests done the week before sectionals revealed that John had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.  He started chemo last Thursday, October 1st.  Luckily, John has told us that with enough strength and support, his chances of fighting back the disease are better than most.  However, as we all know, the fight against cancer is painful, emotionally draining, and physically exhausting.

Please visit John’s site, http://johnstewartcancerfight.com/ and keep John in your thoughts and prayers.  Dallas United is a part of John’s support, and we want you to be a part of that support.  This is the biggest challenge of John’s life.  He needs all of our support.
