Cheryl's Surprise 80th Birthday Adventure

If you have received this, remember this is a secret!

This September 9th Cheryl Cohen Greene is turning 80.

Allan, Kristina, and I have struggled with what to do for her for some time. We’ve come to the conclusion that sending her on an adventure is the perfect way to show our love and appreciation for her part in our lives. It’s also a wonderful way for her to experience something she’s never done before. As you all know, she’s been facing and fighting some serious health challenges this last year. In the fall, we are hopeful that she will be back to full strength and ready to take the adventure of a lifetime: a river cruise in Europe.

We (her family and dear friends) would love to show her our appreciation and devotion by funding this trip (which will likely be in the range of 7-10 days) for Cheryl and a guest. This GoFundMe is an opportunity for those of us who have had our lives enriched by knowing Cheryl to be a small part of her trip of a lifetime.

We’d love to have the money raised by her birthday so that she can be surprised with the trip. That gives us the summer to fundraise for her tickets and expenses. Please consider a birthday donation that will show Cheryl our love.

If you have any questions about what the funds will cover, or to learn more about Cheryl’s recent battles with cancer, please reach out to [e-mail geredigeerd].

THANK YOU for keeping our Cheryl in your hearts and minds, and for giving literally any amount that you can. We treasure our community immensely and we know that she’ll be overwhelmed by your love.

Please remember, this is a secret! We want to be able to surprise her in September. If you want to share this GoFundMe on your own page, PLEASE be sure to use the “friends except” option to hide it from Cheryl before re-posting. THANK YOU!
