One of my dearest friends, Cori Dodson, is in a fight for her life with a recurring cancer diagnosis. I have seen Cori selflessly help so many people fight their demons. She has dedicated her life to helping others and now she needs our help.

Whether you are a friend, family member or colleague, I'm sure her positive attitude and infectious smile have helped you make it through tough days.

Cancer is never fair, but this time it really seems particularly unfair. It's time for us to help her.

She has a dream to travel to South Korea and we want to make that happen before she gets too far into her chemo treatments. She has been immersing herself in the Korean culture for a couple of years now, including learning to speak, read and write Hangul and she is anxious to put it to use.

Thank you for anything you can do to help make this happen. Any funds raised exceeding the cost of the trip will be used to cover the costs of medical tests, procedures and other expenses not covered by insurance.
