Community Greater than Cancer

Date: 
Sunday, November 18, 2018 - 11:00am to 2:00pm

A former face in Lake Mills, Chuck McGrady, along with his family are seeking the caring help of the community as they struggle to fight back against cancer. Chuck was diagnosed earlier this year, in April, with cancer of an unknown source which has formed in two areas of his lungs, and the normalcy of day-to-day life has changed completely.
“His physical limitations, along with lack of energy and breathing, have taken a big toll on his daily life,” states Chuck’s wife, Jen McGrady. His condition rendering him in a vulnerable state, he has quit working his business, which he has handed over to his daughter, Kelsey Bosma, whom “he will continue to advise as much as he can.”
The McGrady’s lived in Lake Mills for 27 years prior to moving to Buffalo Center four years ago in 2014. The move was made primarily to be closer to family and enjoy their retirement years. The years since the move have not been easy, as the family has endured the loss of a grandson (Titus Bosma) as well as a daughter (Flower McGrady), and now with Chuck’s diagnosis, the McGrady’s are in need of the kindness of their communities more than ever.
Gifts, along with well-wishes and support have already come from family, friends, and the community, for which Jen says, “We are so grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers and support. You truly don’t know what going through these diseases is like, until you have been in the thick of it. With all that we have been through, we really have to take our life one day at a time. We praise God every day that we can wake up and share a smile.”
The McGrady family consits of daughters, Jodie Grapumann, and her sons, Steven and Anthoney,  Katherine McGrady and her son, Matthew, all of Red Wing, Minn.; and Kelsey Bosma and her husband, Jesse, and their children, Gabrielle and Wyatt, Buffalo Center.
A benefit for Chuck will be held at the Heritage Town Center, Buffalo Center, Sunday, Nov. 18, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. For more info, see the ad on page 3 of this issue.
