Today, one of my best friends, Desiree Glanz, received news that no one wants to hear — she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The good news: it was caught very early, and Desiree is ready to take this head-on with her trademark strength, positivity, and determination.

As she begins her journey to healing, Desiree will face time away from work, frequent travel for treatments, and the growing weight of medical bills. While she's never been one to ask for help, we know how much she's done for all of us — whether it’s caring for our kids, coaching, volunteering in the community, or just being the dependable, loving friend we can all count on.

Now it’s our turn to be there for her.

This fundraiser will help cover:

Treatment & medical expenses not covered by insurance

Travel to and from appointments

Time missed from work during recovery

Any additional support or care she may need

If you know Desiree, you know she brings light, laughter, and love wherever she goes. Let’s rally around her the way she’s always done for us — with compassion, generosity, and strength.

Any amount — no matter how small — will make a difference. And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page.

Let’s help Desiree focus on what matters most: healing and getting back to the vibrant life she loves.

With gratitude,

Tamar Yakovich
