2025 LMGO Beneficiaries

All proceeds from The 19th Annual Luke Muller Golf Outing and After Party will benefit Addi Dalton and Jeff Krohmer.

Addi is 16 years old. In January of 2024, she was diagnosed with a rare cancerous tumor in her spinal cord, Myxopapillary Ependymoma. Shortly after diagnosis, she had surgery with hopes to remove the tumor. Unfortunately, the surgery was not successful. The tumor size was 7 inches. They were only able to remove 3 inches safely due to it being in the spinal cord. Doctor’s at Children’s Hospital recommended Proton Therapy treatment in hopes of shrinking what was left of the tumor. Her treatments were 5 days a week (Mon-Fri) for 6 weeks at the new Proton Hospital in Liberty Township. Addi has MRI’s every 3 months to monitor the progress of the tumor. The MRI in December of 2024 showed signs of the tumor progressing. She has Physical Therapy weekly to keep up strength and mobility.

Jeff was met with life changing news in October 2024, when he was diagnosed with HPV Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the throat. He began aggressive treatment of chemotherapy and targeted radiation therapy. Sadly, after treatment ended, his health was not improving and additional scans showed that his Jeff’s cancer did not respond to treatment and had moved into his tongue. In March, he underwent major surgery removing half of his tongue, affected tissue from his mouth, throat & palate, and rebuilding using a skin graft from his leg. The surgery was a 98% success. The path ahead is a long one with frequent scans, extensive treatments, and therapy to regain his ability to speak and swallow.
