In late 2016 frequent Sun contributor Brian Doyle had surgery to remove a brain tumor. To help his family with the financial hardships they face, a close friend has launched a GoFundMe site with the Doyles’ full support and gratitude: gofundme.com/betenderandlaugh. When asked what else people can do for him, Doyle says, “Be tender to each other, teach a kid to read, laugh, be more tender than yesterday, repeat, ad infinitum.”
