Benefit Today For Flomaton Cancer Patient Tommy Allgood

May 26, 2012

A benefit will be held today from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Flomaton Community Center for cancer patient and Flomaton resident Tommy Allgood.

Allgood’s battle with prostate cancer began a few days before Christmas in 2007. After undergoing surgery and maximum lifetime amounts of radiation, it was determined that the cancer had spread to his bones. Since that time, he has undergone many different types of chemotherapy and  bone treatments.

During his last hospital stay, the doctors found that the cancer had spread to his lungs. Even with the latest diagnosis, Allgood still remains upbeat and  optimistic. He’s not shy about telling anyone his favorite Bible verse, Romans 8:28, “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called, according to His purpose.”

Allgood is a lifelong resident of Flomaton, and a 1977 Flomaton High graduate. He retired from International Paper in 2009 after 15 years of service. Allgood and his wife Nancy have been married for 33 years and have two sons, Jesse and Jonathan.

Today’s event will help defray some of Allgood’s medical expenses. There will be a yard sale, fish fry, cake auction, jump castle, face painting, singing and much more. T-shirts will also be sold with Allgood’s favorite Bible verse as well as his favorite saying, “It’s All-Good!”.
