DAVID KELLEY'S CANCER BATTLE

Right now David is in the fight of his life. He had the top part of his lung removed due to a PET scan showing signs of cancer on September 6th, 2022. They removed seven limp nodes that came back as cancer. The doctor said they believe they got it all, but he had a port put in to do radiation.

He still has 5 weeks of radiation left, and then 12 weeks of chemo. He needs 12 months of an immune boost as of right now, so he's going to be down for a while. His wife Kaye, sons David Lee, Christopher, William, and Michael, and his bonus son Johnny Benson is helping him through his journey. He's surrounded by many family and friends who are by his side for support.

BENEFIT RIDE FOR DAVID KELLEY

It was a beautiful day in Muhlenberg County on Saturday, October 22nd, 2022. Bikes, cars, and trucks lined up at the Catfish Dock in Powderly to celebrate David. And, to raise money to help offset his rising medical bills. Because of the community's generosity, $5,000 was raised for the Kelley family.
