The Bruce Potter Recovery Fund
Feb 6, 2013
In a blink of an eye life can change dramatically. That is exactly what happened on October 14, 2012 to Officer Bruce Potter and his family. Bruce Potter, a City of Munford Police Department Reserve Officer since September 2008 and a United States Navy veteran, was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. He has undergone 5 weeks of chemotherapy and radiation that were not successful in shrinking the tumors. He has had major seizures and has lost the use of the left side of his body. Officer Potter is now receiving rehabilitation for the partial paralysis at Health South Rehab Hospital in Memphis, TN.
Unfortunately, Bruce's prognosis isn't favorable. Bruce will leave behind a loving wife and two children (high school and college aged). Because of the mounting medical expenses and living expenses associated with his rehabilitation efforts, the Potter family is in dire need of support from the community. His wife has remained by his side throughout his medical struggles and she has logged more than 3000 miles in travel to and from medical facilities.
Officer Potter and his family need help. The Potter family mortgage is $170,000 with an average of $400 a month in utilities, not to mention to numerous expenses for medical produces and traveling to and from medical facilities for treatments.
