GoFundMe page launched for the family had raised more than $39,600 as of Thursday, March 23.

The Gormans will need to commute to Philadelphia every day for six weeks. Chemotherapy will begin simultaneously.

"John and Erin were both born, raised, and are now currently residing in Absecon with their 3 children. They have always had a strong sense of community involvement and are often seen coaching and supporting the Blue Devils, ASAC sports, and travel basketball. With two high schoolers and a 5th grader, they will need as much support as possible."
