Beth's 'Be Brave' Brain Cancer Fund
Donation protected
Although we've never met in person, Beth is my friend. I met her online because we are both huge Mumford & Sons fans. Last year, after seeing her doctor because of headaches, Beth was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a form of aggressive brain cancer. She's 30 years old.
After her initial surgery, Beth underwent radiation and chemotherapy and just recently went through another surgery and has started her second round of radiation, with chemotherapy infusion every other week. She also undergoes speech therapy and physical therapy. She is on disability right now and can't work (and misses her job and co-workers at the bowling alley). The bills are starting to stack up and the stress and anxiety from worrying about paying them is certainly not good for her, so I'm hoping that this fund will help.
Fighting cancer is hard enough, and no one should have to worry about finances when fighting brain cancer. If you can donate even a little, it will ease her mind and maybe allow her to enjoy some of her favorite things again, like Captain America comics, Doctor Who, Stephen King books, and of course, Mumford & Sons.
After her head was shaved for the first time, Beth got the tattoo "Be brave" on her scalp, only visible when her head is shaved. She's been very brave but needs some help now.
Mumford & Sons has a song called "Timshel" and the lyrics are:
"You are not alone in this.
As brothers we will stand, and we'll hold your hand.
Hold Your hand.
I will tell the night:
Whisper, "Lose your sight."
But I can't move the mountains
For you."
I believe, if we all work together, we CAN move mountains for Beth. Thank you for helping.
