Danna Lingo

Cancer is a wily beast!  It doesn't play fair.  It will hit you again if it can.  And when it does, it hits hard.  And so our sweet Danna is grappling with it once again.  After initially being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 and wrestling it to the ground in 2014, the cancer is now back and this time with a bit of a vengeance.  She was recently diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer that has spread to the lungs and other places.  Stage IV cancer is a daunting diagnosis but not one that can't be beat!  As a stage IV breast cancer survivor myself, I KNOW that Danna can (and will) live, dance, love, create and THRIVE with this.  
Danna, with her big heart, her beautiful green eyes and her unwavering devotion to all things natural and healthy needs our help right now while she gets this cancer under control.   Danna, Bud and Olivia are facing challenges and a few rough days ahead as Danna starts chemotherapy (along with two antibodies) in late October.  Chemotherapy is hard.  It takes your strength, your taste and often your hair.  

Cancer is NOT cheap, even when you have insurance.  The Lingos will need help with the financial burden, and also with meals, house cleaning, play dates for Olivia (12 years old, 7th grade), dog walking, yard work and driving.  I'm sure they would also appreciate any notes of encouragement or a hug.   If you're wondering how you can help, we will be sending out a signup genius in the weeks to come with specific needs at specific times.  

 Let's show Danna our love so that she can focus on kicking the shiitake mushrooms out of that cancer.  
We love you Danna!
