Arianna Russell's Breast Cancer Journey

The first week in February, our family’s world was turned upside down when, Arianna Russell, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Advanced Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer, which has spread to her lymph nodes. She will began the process to start chemotherapy on March 6th. Less than 2% of Breast Cancer patients are 35 and under, Arianna, just turned 36 in October 2023.

After an outpouring of love from family, friends, and various communities, many of them have wondered what they could do to support Arianna. I ask that you consider donating to this GoFundMe page as every penny will go directly to help support her medical bills and cancer expenses, being handled by her mother, Cheri Russell. Arianna has already undergone placement of her port. Arianna has a long road ahead this year, including 16 weeks of chemo, a double mastectomy, followed by radiation. Any support, no matter how big or small, will impact her in a positive way and will make a difference. Your kindness will provide some relief and the encouragement that she needs in this fight ahead.

Arianna is sunshine in human form; a bright light in all of our lives. To know her, is to love her, because what is not to love? She is a sturdy oak enduring this storm with the strength of an unbreakable diamond. She is a role model to many people.

I know the impact she has had on your life, now it’s time to help impact hers. Please feel free to share with your inner circles and others.

She is your advocate to those in need, your best friend, your aunt, your niece, your sister, your daughter...She is Arianna.

On behalf of Mike and Cheri Russell and family, we thank you so much for your kindness and support from the bottom of our hearts!
