Everyone who knows Celeste knows she is an amazingly compassionate, loving, feisty, and creative soul. She has the innate ability to light up any room she walks into, is one of the greatest friends you could have, and is an amazingly talented musician. 

As many of you know, Celeste was diagnosed with stage 2A invasive adenosquamous carcinoma - an aggressive form of cervical cancer. Her treatment will consist of radiation and chemotherapy, and could start as early as this upcoming week.

Although these are trying times, Celeste remains to be one of the strongest people I have ever met - on Sunday, September 23rd she completed the Santa Cruz Olympic Triathlon, and only a few days later, on Tuesday, September 25th, she was diagnosed with cancer. The amount of determination and passion that Celeste has within her is incredibly rare and inspiring. 

During this time Celeste and her family could use any help you are willing to give to alleviate any money-related stress. Celeste’s Godfather, Chris Jones, will withdraw the funds and use them to pay off her medical expenses. Every penny counts!
