John Gorman and the Gorman family

Earlier this month, John Gorman was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive form of malignant brain cancer. The road the family has ahead will be challenging, and they are still adjusting to this news.

John has already had brain surgery. Beginning this week, he will have 30 rounds of radiation treatment at Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. They will need to commute there every day, for 6 weeks. Chemotherapy will begin simultaneously. In addition to the emotional and physical hardships that this will bring, we are asking for support to help ease the financial burden of significant travel expenses and loss of/limited income for both John and Erin.

John and Erin were both born, raised, and are now currently residing in Absecon with their 3 children. They have always had a strong sense of community involvement and are often seen coaching and supporting the Blue Devils, ASAC sports, and travel basketball. With two high schoolers and a 5th grader, they will need as much support as possible. John and Erin are likely the last people that would ask for help, but they would be the first to give it. Please consider showing this family what community support looks like in Absecon and beyond, through their many networks of colleagues, friends, and family. No amount is too small.

Should you wish to reach out to John and Erin personally, their home address is:

1 Hammell Lane

Absecon, NJ 08201
