Overview

• A GoFundMe launched in February has raised over $65,000, led by a $10,000 gift from former Texans teammate J.J. Watt and contributions from other ex-colleagues.
• After CAR T-cell therapy initially shrank his tumor, Braman’s rare cancer rebounded around vital organs, leaving standard chemotherapy options limited.
• He has undergone multiple surgeries in Seattle and resumed chemotherapy despite weakened immunity while exploring additional clinical trial programs.
• Lacking insurance for housing or caregiver costs, Braman sold his car and relies on motel stays funded by supporters to maintain treatment.
• A Spokane native, he forged a seven-year NFL career on special teams with the Texans and Eagles and earned a Super Bowl LII ring through resilience.
