Help Lisa & Her Daughter Beat Cancer

My name is Heather, I am lucky enough to know Lisa. I coach her at our Crossfit gym.

 

She comes in after working 12 hour night shifts to do burpees.

 

Yup, a tough cookie to say the least.

 

Lisa has been diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. For this type of breast cancer, she will undergo surgery along with daily radiation for 5 weeks.

 

She is a hard worker, so taking time off of her emergency veterinarian job to focus on her health and undergo treatment is a big ask.

 

She is a single mother, and unfortunately no stranger to cancer. She has a beautiful 6-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with a rare adrenal cancer and a genetic condition called Li-Fraumeni Syndrome. This means her daughter will always have an increased cancer risk, even after beating it in her first year of life.

 

Lisa's breast cancer diagnosis increases her daughter's risk even more.

 

Lisa has a lot on. She is building her life with her gorgeous daughter, is traveling hours every three months for her daughter's hospital visits, and constantly now for herself as well.

 

Lisa does it all on her own - she has been unimaginably strong for her daughter as a single mother, and now Lisa needs our strength too.

 

Being the sole parent to her daughter, these treatments, back and forth to hospitals, and many visits between her and her daughter are a massive financial burden.

 

Lisa is not somebody who will ask for help - she has been strong enough.

 

It would be a huge help if we can be strong for her and help her with these medical bills. Anything helps.

 

If you don't know Lisa personally, please know that I do. She has overcome too much to drown in medical bills while undergoing treatment. Please, help us get Lisa healthy and back to being her badass self.
