Eric, Heidi and Marshall Gotter received heartbreaking news that no parent should ever have to hear, but unfortunately too many do, their now 11 year-old son, Marshall, has been diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer.
Marshall is a 11-year-old who attends Stratford Schools. He is known for his kind heart. He loves helping his neighbors with chores, spending time with his Nana, going to church, playing baseball, being in karate, and being with his cousins. Despite his challenges, he remains a sweet, caring boy who brings a lot of joy to those around him.
Doctors have found tumors in his femur, with additional spots in his lymph nodes, Marshall will need intensive and aggressive treatment from chemotherapy, surgeries, hospital stays, and ongoing medical care. The road ahead will be challenging, both physically and emotionally.
Because Marshfield Clinic does not have the specialized doctors needed to treat Ewing Sarcoma, Marshall and his family will need to travel to Madison weekly for treatment throughout this process. This means frequent long trips, time away from home, and additional costs for transportation, lodging, and time off work while they focus on Marshall’s care.
This summer, Marshall underwent a rotationplasty, a complex and life-changing surgery. As a result, he will temporarily lose his ability to walk and have a long and difficult road to recovery and rehabilitation. His family will have to make significant changes to their home to make it accessible to Marshall, along with new accommodations to allow him to navigate daily life.
This fundraiser will help support Marshall and his family with:
• Medical expenses, treatments, and ongoing care
• Travel to and from hospitals and specialists in Madison
• Lodging during extended treatment periods
• Meals and daily living expenses during this time
• Home modifications to make their space accessible for Marshall’s recovery
• Rehabilitation, mobility equipment, and adaptive needs after surgery
• Time off work so his family can be by his side every step of the way
• Anything Marshall needs to stay comfortable, supported, and strong throughout this fight
