Michael Weiland, a single dad and former U.S. Marine is fighting cancer and could really use some support from our community.

Michael, a graduate of Whitney Point High School, was diagnosed with Rectal Cancer in 2012.  Last year, Michael learned he also has Peritoneal Cancer.

Michael travels bi-weekly to Ithaca for treatment and makes additional trips to Buffalo. As he battles this disease and takes care of his three kids, his medical bills mount.

A pasta dinner to help Michael will be held on Saturday, February 28th from 3pm-7pm at the Knights of Columbus Council 206,136 Park Avenue in Binghamton.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5.00 for kids 10 and under. There will be a 50/50 raffle, basket raffle, door prizes and your chance to win a 5 Day, 4 night hotel stay as well as two lift tickets to a Colorado Ski Resort (airfare not included).

All proceeds from the benefit will go directly to Michael and his family to help with the cost of treatment, care and daily living expenses.
