“I know many of you didn’t know Beans before you were diagnosed with cancer in September. He had such a pep in his step before starting treatment. And we’re so lucky he had six normal months of life. It’s been the end of July, “he wrote as he posted a short clip of Bean on Twitter. writhing and giggling in her crib.
The couple had requested donations in Bean’s honor, and Kaczynski included a link to a bicycle event raising money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, where Bean was treated.
“We are so grateful for the money raised in Francesca’s honor for Dana Farber to fight this terrible disease, and we will spend the rest of our lives involved in finding a cure,” he wrote.
More than $ 338,000 was raised.
