Hello! I know I've asked many of you to donate over the years for baseball, gymnastics, scouts, and school fundraisers for the kids, but this one comes from the heart.

Our Mom started having stomach pains around her 65th birthday on January 1st. After much convincing, our dad finally got her to agree to see a doctor. After several tests and scans, we received the news that no one wants to hear. Cancer. Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. She's met with a multitude of medical professionals and has decided that this isn't going to be the end of her story. She's been enjoying her recent retirement and finally getting to do all of the things that she loves. She's recently got into beekeeping this past year, continuing to make her vegetable garden bigger each season and, of course, spending more time with the grandkids. This week she's starting a rigid schedule of chemotherapy, on top of holistic treatments, a massive diet change (which she is most unhappy about) and anything and everything to not only survive, but to live. She's determined to take this head on from any and every angle possible, all of which is going to take a toll on her physically as well as financially.

We are asking anyone who is able to help out to please consider doing so so that she can get the treatment she needs, and deserves, to beat this. Thank you in advance; anything and everything is appreciated.
