10 years ago, in 2005, Jill was diagnosed with breast cancer.  In 2007 she had a recurrence, and she physically did everything she possibly could to prevent another one, but on  October 30th, 2015, she learned that her cancer was back and had metastasized primarily to her brain.  Jill immediately began undergoing aggressive radiation and steroid treatments, and there has been an outpouring of love, care and concern.  Many people have been asking how they can help, so this Go-FundMe site was started in an effort to help alleviate some of the financial difficulties they will soon be facing with loss of income and growing medical bills.  

Jill is an amazing person, mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend.  Her strength and resilience is inspiring, and her resolve is steadfast.  To look the belly of this beast in the eye for the third time in 10 years - while only being in her 40's - is unimaginable.  With everyone's help, we can make this most difficult of situations more bearable in some ways.  

Jill and Derek are extremely appreciative of everyone's kindness, love and support, and Team Jill would like to thank you for your thoughtful and generous donation.
