Hi, my name is Cori Charboneau.

In 2022, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After fighting hard through treatments and all that comes with this disease, I received news in January 2024 that my cancer had progressed to stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.

Since that diagnosis, I’ve made a choice: to live life fully and intentionally. I’ve embraced moments with the people I love. I’ve found joy in good food, meaningful conversations, and trips that remind me how beautiful life still is. I want to continue doing that—for as long as I can.

As my cancer has spread, I will soon begin a new round of treatment. While I remain hopeful and grounded, I also know it’s time to think ahead and prepare for what’s to come—physically, emotionally, and financially.

This is where I need your help.

I’m raising funds to support:

Creating meaningful memories with my family and friends (traveling to places I’ve never been, especially Lake Michigan, enjoying special meals, and celebrating life together)

Covering living and medical expenses during this time so I can focus on my health and not finances

End-of-life planning, including memorial costs and ensuring that I don’t leave my loved ones in debt

This journey is not easy, but I am doing my best to face it with love, grace, and as much laughter as possible. Your support will give me the freedom to live each day fully and give my family peace of mind both now and in the future.

Whether you donate, share this fundraiser, or simply send love and support—thank you. Every bit makes a difference.

With gratitude and all my heart,

Cori!
