(Aurora, Ind.) - A fundraiser has been started to help a local veteran as he battles Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. 

Franklin "Tim" Foster was diagnosed in October with stage three lymphoma. 

Foster is a proud Marine and the former owner of a Martial Arts studio in Aurora. He trained students in the 1990s with many of his students going on to win medals at AAU tournaments. 

A GoFundMe has been setup to help Foster with financial support while he undergoes treatment.
