TRAVERSE CITY — Timothy Bergstrom, owner of Bergstrom’s Burgers near Traverse City was diagnosed with a rare Leukemia last August.
He has been back and forth to the hospital since then for treatments. The community has been showing Tim their support. Silver Spruce Brewing on Eighth Street is hosting an event at the end of May.
They will have food, desserts and prizes. All proceeds will go to the Bergstrom family. Bergstrom was recently told he is in remission but the journey is not over.
“My difficulty is trying to get people to understand that remission is not the end,” Bergstrom said. “I have to continue with this. People tend to pull together for things like this. I’ve gotten to know quite a few people over the years, and — it just seems like there’s no limit to. How people help each other.”
Bergstrom says the best way people can show their support is by going to the restaurant or donating to his GoFundMe.
