Carolyn Hanna’s Children’s Fund

Shortly after becoming pregnant with her second child, Carolyn Hanna, a Richmond resident, Radford TriSigma Alum and Kappa Sigma Sweetheart, and New Jersey native, received the devastating news that she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Carolyn, being the incredibly strong fighter that she is, powered through her first 4 rounds of chemo while pregnant and completed the remaining 10 rounds after having giving birth to her precious and healthy baby boy, Colton, on November 18th, 2017. She then continued her battle with 6 weeks of daily radiation and reconstructive surgery finally to be told by her doctors that she was cancer free in February 2018. In May, after finishing radiation, she finally thought cancer was behind her but continued having terrible back pain. Although, you would never know the awful pain Carolyn was in due to her radiant smile, courage, and positive attitude. Almost two weeks ago, it was discovered that the cancer cells had spread to Carolyn’s spinal fluid. Carolyn fought cancer with everything she had, and she didn’t lose her battle with cancer, she won every day with her courage, strength, and positive attitude.

Mike has lost his incredible wife, Jack and Colton have lost their Mother, Grace and Kyle their sister, and Jack and Nancy their daughter. There has been such an incredible outpouring of support from so many individuals that loved Carolyn and crossed paths with her along the way. Many have asked how they can help to carry on Carolyn’s legacy and provide support during this difficult time. This page has been created to establish a fund for Colton and Jack’s future, as we know her children were her everything. ❤️
