Merritt White, the proprietor of Re:Cycles on Spring Garden Street, has been a great neighbor for 20 years or more.

He's been recovering from cancer surgery for several months. His financial situation must be a challenge, on top of medical bills and having to close the shop for a while.

A Go Fund Me campaign has been set up to help Merritt and his family. The campaign is located at https://www.gofundme.com/f/please-help-one-of-the-ogs-of-the-bike-scene.

Merritt had some wonderful news recently: his first scan after surgery came back all clear with no signs of recurrence. He'll need to have a scan every year and regular colonoscopies and blood work.
