Cheri' Valentino Breast Cancer Fund

Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you are now aware, and for those that may not be,  I wanted to let you to know that Cheri' was
diagnosed with Breast Cancer a few weeks ago.  While unfortunate and unexpected, Cheri' has maintained a
positive outlook and feels confident that she will beat this.  She is humbled by the tremendous outpouring of love,
support, and encouragement you have all shown.

She underwent Mastectomy and reconstructive surgery Monday, January 6th, 2020 under the care of an amazing hospital, HonorHealth and the Virginia G. Piper Cancer center with her team of doctors; Dr. Patricia Rodriguez, Dr. Sommer Gunia and Dr. Molly Walsh.  She has been recovering with me and will head home as soon as she can.  We're still waiting for her final pathology/biopsy results t
o see where this journey will take her.  She will require a second surgery in a few months to address her mastectomy
treatment.

This diagnosis always comes as such a shock and has touched many of us through other friends and family
members.  Take this opportunity to remind yourself (both men and women) to follow up on your annual physicals,
cancer screenings, and "Buddy Self Check" system.  YOU are number 1 and nothing comes before your health!
Nurture it and protect it!

Cheri' was hit with two deductibles in a very short period of time due to her diagnosis late in the year and surgery
in the beginning of the new year.  Anything you can do to help support her with this financial situation would be greatly appreciated.

Cheri' is one of the strongest people I know and is the type of person who is always there for her family and friends.  She is highly thought of in the community and well respected from colleagues and clients.  Cheri' raised her two children as a single Mom and still managed to have an incredible work ethic. With all life has thrown at her, she has always carried herself with dignity and grace.  

It is time for her to rely on the help of others which is a difficult thing for her to do.  Thank you for your support and sharing this information with others to help us reach our monetary goal for Cheri'.

Kind regards,

Merrilee Riley
