A Fundraiser for Mary Valloni and Family

I am setting this up on behalf of Timm, Mary, and the girls.

Shortly after the holidays, Mary had a cold she couldn't shake and what she thought was Pneumonia was ultimately diagnosed as Stage IV Cancer 3 weeks ago. Just 3 weeks ago! While the medical team had been trying to find the primary source of her cancer, the respiratory distress she was in made it more complicated to perform multiple exploratory procedures. On Tuesday May 6th, Mary passed while at the hospital.

The Vallonis have been more than gracious with so many charitable efforts in all the years I've known them. Whether it was making koozies for benefits of friends to attending Big Bikes for Little Tykes, as well as donating to my Christmas Cheer every year, they truly go above and beyond to help out where they can. I know many of you have reached out to the family, asking what they need or how you can help during this difficult time. This Go Fund Me is one of those ways. Let's assist in unburdening Timm so that he can focus on what needs to be done for Mary and the girls right now as well as down the road.

Mary was 45 years old and a mom to my beautiful nieces who are 12 and 10. Timm and Mary have known each other most of their adult lives; not too many of us get to have the kind of relationship they had. Full of love, trust, understanding, humor and friendship. Not only was she a mother and wife, but also an amazing sister, niece, aunt and friend.

The girls were her entire world and I know if she was able to reach out to any of us, her focus would be on the girls and Timm. Let's do that for her as well as them.

It takes a village and I know Mary and Timm have one <3
