Yesterday, one of our own shared news that none of us wanted to hear.
After nearly a year of clear scans following his battle with testicular cancer, Brandon Bucher learned that his cancer has returned and spread to the lymphatic system in his abdomen. The months ahead will include chemotherapy and potentially additional surgery.
Brandon, we want you, Summer, and your entire family to know one thing:
YOU WILL NOT FIGHT THIS ALONE.
Brandon is so much more than a coach in our wrestling room. He is a Northern Wrestling alumnus, a Northern Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee, a volunteer assistant coach, a mentor to our wrestlers, and most importantly, a member of our wrestling family.
Anyone who has been around wrestling knows that when one of your own is in a fight, you show up.
And Brandon, there is an ARMY OF PURPLE ready to show up for you. 💜
The same wrestling community you have given so much of yourself to is now standing firmly in your corner. Your wrestlers, fellow coaches, alumni, parents, families, friends, and the entire Northern Wrestling community are behind you and the Bucher family every step of the way.
There will be difficult days ahead, but there will also be an incredible amount of love, prayer, encouragement, and support surrounding you.
Brandon, we loves you. We love your family. We are praying for you, fighting alongside you, and we’ll be here for whatever you need during the months ahead.
Please comment below to show your support, prayers, and encouragement for Brandon, Summer, and the entire Bucher family. Let’s fill the comments with love and remind them that an entire army of purple is standing with them.
No one fights alone in this family.
