Please Help NorCal Vice-Chair Mike Guzman

 

Mike Guzman, a dedicated gymnastics coach, business owner, Vice Chair of NorCal, community leader, mentor, and creator of every NorCal Senior Video presentation is facing a challenging battle with cancer once again. Over 17 years ago, Mike triumphed over Stage 4 throat cancer, but he has recently received another diagnosis. Thanks to the quick thinking and tenacity of his wife, Natalie Guzman, they caught this latest challenge in time, preventing it from becoming even more daunting. However, Mike now requires major tumor removal surgery and subsequent treatments.
