My name is Mark Kelly, and I have known Rick Martin for close to 10 years as a colleague, and a dear friend. Meet Rick Over the past 18 years, the electricity distribution industry has had the pleasure of knowing Rick Martin, a jovial truck driver and plant operator known for going above and beyond to ensure a safe workplace. Ricky is also very well known for his lifelong devotion to Ford cars. Today, Rick faces the toughest challenge of his life – stage 4 colorectal cancer with liver metastasis. Sadly, the cancer is incurable, but with palliative chemotherapy, we hope to improve his quality of life and ease the symptoms caused by the disease. As Rick fights with unwavering determination, we, his friends and colleagues, are rallying together to offer support to him and his beloved family during this difficult journey. Meet Rick's Family Rick is not just a skilled professional; he is a loving husband to his wife, Kylie, and a devoted father to his four children – Leanne, Natalie, Bradley, and David. In just nine weeks, the Martin family will welcome their first grandchild into the world, a joyous occasion that Rick is determined to witness. Kylie's Sacrifice: In this challenging time, Kylie has made the selfless decision to take leave without pay from her job to be by Rick's side and provide the care and love he needs. As they navigate this journey together, the family faces various financial burdens, including medical bills, transport costs, and parking fees for frequent appointments. Moreover, they have learned about an alternative chemotherapy treatment that may offer a glimmer of hope, but it comes with a significant cost of thousands of dollars per month. Additionally, they need to set up their home with essential care equipment for at-home treatment and recovery, further straining their financial resources.
