Support Nicole's Battle Against Breast Cancer

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters ---

On March 26th, my sister Nicole was diagnosed with Stage 2 triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive form that’s often difficult to treat.

Nicole is the kind of person who lifts everyone up around her. She's the one who will remind you of the good in the world when things feel dark. She’s the first to show up with encouragement and the last to ask for help herself. She's been my biggest cheerleader in life and in business. Now, it's our turn to cheer her on through this fight.

The past four years have already tested Nicole’s strength. While living in Washington, she was diagnosed with gastroparesis, which severely affects digestion and she suffered medication side effects that caused hearing loss and debilitating tinnitus. She tackled each challenge head-on: researching, advocating, and blending both Western and Eastern medicine to regain stability.

Just as she was finding her footing again, hyperthyroidism knocked her down. She lost 30 pounds in three months, her heart would race, and we were constantly on alert for emergency care. It became clear she needed to move back to Arizona, closer to family and a stronger support system.

Over the last year and a half, Nicole worked hard to reclaim her life. She stabilized her health, got her real estate license, and was finally moving forward --- until cancer interrupted it all.

Nicole started chemotherapy on April 4th. She’ll undergo 12 weeks of weekly chemo, followed by treatments every three weeks for several months. She’s most concerned about chemo’s impact on her hearing loss and tinnitus and the possibility of triggering her autoimmune conditions. Thankfully, she's found a team of doctors committed to treating her cancer while protecting her overall health.

Nicole won’t be able to work during treatment. While our family is doing everything we can to help, the road ahead also includes additional out-of-pocket costs for holistic therapies that have helped her stay balanced: acupuncture, massage, and an autoimmune-supportive diet.

I created this GoFundMe to ensure Nicole can focus on healing, not on financial stress. Nicole has always been the one to figure things out on her own. But now, she needs her community and many of you have asked how to help.

If you’re able to give, any amount will make a difference! Sharing this page would also mean the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your prayers. Let’s help Nicole focus on what matters most: her health, her recovery, and better days ahead.

With love and gratitude,

Brian Clemens
