Our dear friend, Zanne Newman, has been bravely fighting Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) blood cancer. Last year, she had to step away from work mid-year to begin chemotherapy and regular transfusions. This month she will receive CAR-T therapy from October 7 -27.

These treatments take Zanne and Rand more than 300 miles round trip to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, adding not just to her physical burden but also to their financial strain.

Given that Zanne is usually the organizer, not the recipient of community support efforts, she needed a lot of convincing about this GoFundMe campaign. The reality is, this next procedure will be the most intensive treatment yet- and this is how we can help.

We want Zanne to focus on healing, rest, and recovery — not financial stress. Every donation, no matter the size, helps ease her burden and surrounds her with the love and support she deserves.

Thank you for helping lift up both Zanne and Rand with hope and care during this difficult time.
