Dearborn County native also owned martial arts studio
(GREENDALE, Ind.) – A fundraiser has been launched for a local Marine veteran who is fighting cancer.
Franklin “Tim” Foster was diagnosed in October with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
The Greendale resident served in the Marines and later owned a martial arts studio in Aurora and Manchester. Some of his students competed in regional and state championships over the years.
“He has been a great pillar of the community and is the most caring person I have ever met,” said his son, Jordan.
The cancer diagnosis was unexpected and Foster is in need of some financial support to pay the bills as he goes through treatments.

“He’s a very proud Marine and loving father. I just want to give back to him and let the community know that he now needs a little help,” Jordan added.
