Benefit ride scheduled to raise funds for Stan Frank's cancer treatment

Stan Frank isn't used to being the one receiving help, but others want to give to the community. He said he's usually the one giving, having worked in public safety and emergency services for nearly 25 years.

Throughout his career, Frank has worked both as and as a coroner. He even served as a rescue officer for the Spencer Police Department for a few years.

"I just feel like I wanted to give to the community," he said of his service.

He explained that he works for the state as an Emergency Preparedness Manager, and he serves as deputy for the Owen County Coroner Office.

And this spring, Frank was diagnosed with bladder cancer.

"It's pretty overwhelming," he said of the support he has received throughout the community. "There's been so many people asking for any of it."

He continued saying it has been with mixed emotions.

"I'm not one to take help but sometimes that makes it difficult," he said. "I'm not someone to ask for help but that he has had to let support and others to help."

"The help is pretty to alleviate some financial burden the cancer has stretched far and wide, he added a t-shirt fundraiser from the Grayville Fire Department, among other fundraising to alleviate some financial burden.

"He told me he's had that there are dream-catchers above the bed at desk that come from all over the world... Frank said. "He told me he's had that there are dream-catchers above the bed at desk that come from all over the world..."

He explained that he doesn't wish to be treated differently. He said detection of the cancer doesn't walk around feeling well, but that if he still would not know how he feels physically. "You can't walk around feeling down," he explained. "You go to about that. You could have a terminal illness but that's treatable. That's a real worry. But Frank said. "The choice is your and give up, so I die and give up, so I don't have give up in me, so that's not what it's about."

Frank also noted that he doesn't wish to be treated differently. He said those with terminal illnesses don't want to feel like they're different.

"I've always been deemed that grumpy old ****, but that's the thing, I'm not going to change that," he said. "I'm going to be the same person regardless. It doesn't matter."

He also said to listen to the small voice encouraging you to do talk to someone else.

"It always seems like when I reach out to those people, when I think, 'some of those things that you were like I do, and a lot worse off than I am. I don't feel bad," he said. "You're going to die tomorrow, but hey, better just go ahead and do it."
