Bride To Be diagnosed w/cancer

Donation protected
Hey, my name is Lisa, and on March 16, 2014, I said "yes" to marrying my best friend, Tim. The date was set for Oct 4, 2014. On Aug 4th, we received fantastic news that Tim received a new job as a head basketball coach in NY. This meant a move 10 hours away from my friends and family, but it was an exciting opportunity. The next day, Aug 5, 2014, we found out I had breast cancer. The cancer had spread to my lymph nodes, so surgery for a double mastectomy was scheduled immediately. So, in the midst of trying to plan a wedding, recovering from surgery, planning chemo and radiation treatments, moving out of state, things have further been complicated with fertility issues. Turns out, my eggs (the few I have) must be harvested before I start chemo. We were told this procedure typically runs 10k + not including the fertility meds. Thankfully, our insurance covers most of the cancer stuff, but doesn't cover fertility. We are asking for donations to help cover these costs. Anything is appreciated, as nothing is too small.
