May 2020 ended up being a life changing moment for the Malmsten Family.  Twins Mason and Sierra Malmsten were both diagnosed with cancer within weeks of each other and the family plans for the unforeseen future have changed. Mason and Sierra will be spending their summer undergoing chemo treatments with the support of their parents, Gordon and Sherri and younger sister Brooklyn.  

Identical siblings having cancer is not very common, and fraternal siblings being diagnosed within a week of each other is one for the medical books. Their doctor, who has been practicing for over 35 years says this is the first time he's ever had twin patients with a diagnosis like this.  

Due to the challenges ahead and current care giving required, both Gordon and Sherri have taken a leave from work.  The expenses of this challenge are ever growing and a gofundme page has been created to help the family cover some of the financial costs of this.   To donate and to get weekly updates on how Mason, Sierra and the whole Malmsten family are doing go to the gofundme page that a friend has created. 

As the Malmstem family says, "they're in it to win it".  Our thoughts, prayers and good wishes are with them as they battle together.
