The family of former New York Rangers legend Ron Duguay have launched a GoFundMe to raise funds amid the ice hockey player’s battle with cancer.

Created on Tuesday, February 24, by Duguay’s two daughters, Shay Thomas and Amber Stavros, whom he shares with ex-wife Robin Bobo, the GoFundMe page detailed that Duguay, 68, is flying from Florida to Orange County “every two weeks for ongoing” cancer treatment.

Speaking to Page Six on Tuesday, Duguay revealed that he “has been battling cancer for a year” after being diagnosed with “Stage 4 cancer which started in the colon.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Duguay for comment.

David Livingston/Getty Images Since going public with stage III non-Hodgkin lymphoma in November 2024, Dave Coulier has been candid about his illness, treatment and prognosis before his second diagnosis. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the patient’s lymphatic system, with “white blood cells called lymphocytes [that] grow abnormally and can form growths […]

According to the GoFundMe page, which lists Duguay as a “Co-organizer,” the athlete did not initiate the crowdfunding exercise. “Our dad has never been someone who asks for help … especially when it comes to money. He has always tried to handle everything on his own and didn’t want to burden anyone else with what he’s going through,” a description on the page read. “But after many conversations as a family, we decided to create this fundraiser for him because we’ve seen firsthand the weight this battle has placed on him, both physically and financially.”

At the time of publication, the initiative had raised nearly $21,000 from 114 donations. Its target was listed as $26,000.

The description also shed light on what Duguay has experienced in the wake of his diagnosis. It stated, “Because of his cancer, he hasn’t been able to work the way he normally would, yet he continues to fight with everything he has. Earlier in his treatment journey, the care he received in Florida nearly cost him his life. That led us to bring him to Orange County, where my sister and I live, so he could receive treatment here … and thankfully, it has helped him so far.”

John Stamos’ wife, Caitlin McHugh, is sharing a message of support for Dave Coulier amid his cancer battle. “While I do love how you use your experiences to help others, I sure hope God/the universe gives you a well-deserved break from it in the new year. ❤️❤️,” McHugh, 39, wrote in the comments section of […]

As for what the funds would specifically go towards, Duguay’s daughters provided further insight. “The cost of constant travel, along with medical care, holistic therapies, supplements, and alternative healing approaches he has committed to, has become extremely overwhelming financially,” the description continued, before noting that Duguay’s diagnosis is not slowing down.

“Recently, his cancer numbers have started to rise again, and while he continues his current treatments, we are now exploring additional treatment options outside of the United States in hopes of giving him the best possible chance,” the description read. “These treatments are very expensive and add another layer of financial strain during an already difficult time.”

Duguay, who played 12 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) including six seasons with the Rangers across two separate stints, told Page Six on Tuesday, “I find it extremely hard asking for funds for all these costs I’m going through.” He added, “Normally I’m helping others.”

Duguay, who is currently dating former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, also told the outlet that cancer “sucks the life out of you” and has proven “so freaking costly” before offering an update on his battle.

“I am going to do all the alternatives, along with the Western medicine,” Duguay said. “What I am learning I will be able to share with others … I need to get better so I can help others.”

Duguay has been dating Palin, 62, since around 2022, with the athlete including glimpses of her in his social media posts over the years.

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for The Pitt Season 2 Episode 7 and mentions sexual abuse and self-harm.

Trinity Santos (Isa Briones) contains enough layers to rival the world’s largest onion. Her rocky first impression — blunt, arrogant, rushing into grisly procedures — contrasts with her strengths, which The Pitt dispenses over time: superb intuition, an eagle eye for valuable details, and staying level-headed during a crisis. It’s ironic that her abrasive demeanor divides The Pitt‘s viewers, since Santos wields that half-hostile, half-cavalier exterior as a shield. Season 1’s finale draws her painfully sensitive interior and innate tenderness into the open; by embracing the terrifying vulnerability she’s been habitually avoiding, Santos summons enough courage to open her home to Dennis Whitaker (Gerran Howell) and bare her heart to patient Max Wilcox (Aidan Laprete).

Circa Season 2, Santos remains her fluent-in-sarcasm self but boasts a smoother beside manner, a situationship of sorts with Dr. Yolanda Garcia (Alexandra Metz), and stable footing with her colleagues. That security vanishes thanks to an unrelentingly hellish day. As Santos nears her wits’ end in Episode 7, she stumbles into a touching stolen moment with a patient who, on paper, seems like the unlikeliest candidate to receive or provide comfort. The stolen moment spotlights her exemplary caretaker nature and reveals more wrenching context about why this woman moves through the world with wary, aching weariness.

‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Is Pushing Santos to Her Breaking Point

The Pitt‘s entire ensemble has positive qualities and flaws. Perfect heroes and evil villains need not apply, only messy humans who internalize their patients’ pain alongside their personal trauma. Trinity Santos, as tightly wound as a snapping rubber band on her best day, hasn’t exactly handled Season 2 with grace. Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi) isn’t privy to the fact Santos carries the humiliating bruises Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) left, but it’s natural to assume a doctor in the trenches of her R2 year is overworked and overwhelmed. Even if Al-Hashimi’s motivations are well-meant, it’s unfair for Santos’ new superior to single her out with an unnecessary ultimatum.

Santos holds enough duality to sway between confidence and insecurity. Spiraling under pressure, it’s clearer than ever that her darkest enemies include perfectionism, self-hatred, and an acute fear of failure. Her private fears have been exposed under a microscope, and she can’t articulate this turmoil or channel it into an outlet. Her raw trauma responses keep her alive, but lashing out with incandescent fury is a habit to unlearn for the sake of her patients, her long-term health, and her loneliness — because, despite appearances, Santos longs for genuine connection. When she dares to cautiously reach out, she’s rebuffed back into an isolation born of her own making and people not bothering to look past her hidden daggers. She seems surprised when Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) reciprocates her concerns about Whitaker, but once she receives his empathetic ear, Santos abandons her normal pretenses.

Even when she’s stretched too thin, Santos profoundly cares about the people for whom she’s responsible. When she suspects a father (Patrick Mulvey) of molesting his 9-year-old daughter, Kylie (Annabelle Toomey), an automatic switch activates the sheer range of her care: attentive, protective, impulsive, and ferocious enough to fight tooth-and-nail for Kylie’s wellfare, the consequences be damned. Given the anguishing implication that powerful men have violated more than Santos’ trust, Kylie spears her to the quick. Once Mel diagnoses Phylicia Ronson (Nyaling Marenah) with bulimia, Santos drops her dismissive impatience and offers compassionate support. Conversely, her frustration over her communication barriers with Harlow Graham (Jessica ‘Limer’ Flores), a symptom of the wider infrastructure’s inadequate disability accommodations, could never justify Santos’ dehumanizing treatment of Harlow. Combine her urgent profession with personal stressors, and the collision affects certain patients to the point of near-negligence.

Santos Singing to Baby Jane Doe in ‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Episode 7 Reinforces Her Kindness

As for the mysterious abandoned baby, she couldn’t care less. To be fair, while the nurses can ignore ear-piercing wailing, it’s one strain too many for Santos’ overstimulated nerves. Forced to problem-solve, her unconventional gamble works as well as her spontaneous emergency hunches. The Pitt‘s expert in soft-hearted cynicism didn’t have this on her bingo card — soothing an infant with the Hiligaynon lullaby, “Ili-Ili, Tulog Anay.” When Baby Jane Doe seeks reassurance, her innocent hand latching onto Santos’ finger, a begrudgingly charmed Trinity drops her walls without resistance. She has nothing to hide from a newborn. For once, she can rest, focus, and just be herself — a caretaker remembering her purpose.

Santos’ serenade expands her innate softness onto a defenseless human. What’s more, the pair briefly relieving each other’s distress occurs when Santos most needs an anchor. Her innocuous deflection about therapy earlier in the season feels harrowing after glimpsing her self-harm scars. She’s a survivor with bared teeth and a fierce heart, but rather than soldier forward in unnoticed silence, she deserves safety, healing, and steadying mentors whose positive reinforcement and corrective accountability will empower her into a truly magnificent doctor.
