To know her is to love her.  In her almost 23 years of life, Kelly Anne Boylan has encountered more than her fair share of challenges.  As a child, Kelly was diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder, which has made learning difficult for her.  Despite it, and because of it, Kelly has gone on to excel in her academics and is currently in her second year of graduate school at SUNY Buffalo, earning her doctorate in Audiology.  Kelly also suffers from debilitating migraines since receiving the HPV vaccine  as a teenager. 

One week ago today, Kelly started down the path of her most difficult challenge ever.  Experiencing pain in her chest and difficulty breathing, Kelly went to urgent care.  An x-ray was taken revealing a very large 11+ centimeter mass in her chest. In a whirlwind week of doctors and tests, she has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.  Her doctors have indicated that they will be treating this disease very aggressively.  Kelly will suffer a long and painful road to recovery. 

Despite all that she has gone through, Kelly always has a smile on her face.  She is a beautiful soul, both inside and out.  Today as she awaited her PET scan, with a little laugh, in that sweet voice of hers, she said, “Its okay, I’m embracing it!” Kelly is a fighter, all 5 foot nothing of her, and we are confident that she will overcome this and kick cancer’s ass.

We have started this GoFundMe page for Kelly to try to at least relieve some of the financial burden that will come with this devastating diagnosis.  Please join us in our support of Kelly and the whole Boylan family.  Sadly we can’t fight this battle for Kelly, but we plan on being the best damn cheering section there ever was! Please join our team.  #TeamKelly.
