Rick Hunter is a member of SMART-TD Local 556 in Tacoma, WA. Rick has been dealing with lymphoma, including a chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It has been a rough road for Rick. He has lost over 100 lbs since July 2019, and Rick hasn't worked since December 21st. He hopes to be able to get back to work by the end of Summer, but this battle has taken a toll both physically and financially. Please take a moment to visit Rick’s fundraiser page. Any help he can get from his SMART-TD brothers and sisters would be greatly appreciated.
