Editor's Note: The TDN received the following letter from Ken Donworth regarding the GoFundMe campaign to help provide for the children of Andre Lynch, who is suffering from stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is on palliative care. Lynch has two daughters, Emma, 8; and Catherine, 4. Donations may be made here.

We want to thank everybody for helping out Andre in the last week. It's been an incredible showing of support and we want recognize everyone who has been so kind. It's devastating what is happening to Andre, but I can promise you we have met him several times over the last week and this has lifted his spirits beyond measure. The knowledge that his kids will be taken care of has given him huge comfort of mind.

The funds will go into our trust account managed by the Fister group at Morgan Stanley. Dermot Ryan and I would be trustees. This fund will grow and benefit the girls in years to come.

The horse business is truly amazing, and when something drastic happens like this, everybody comes together. It's truly amazing and a testament to everyone in the business.

Again, we want to thank everybody who has donated, and it's never too late to donate. If you haven't already, we're trying to raise as much as we can to cover Andre's palliative care and set up a trust account for the kids.

Sincerely, Ken Donworth
