*Update 7/1/2021 - We would like to thank everyone for their generous donations, thoughts, and prayers.

*Update 5/26/2021 - Shawna is currently awaiting transplant, she will be staying in the hospital for the week leading up to transplant. Her transplant date is set for June 3rd, with her donor being her brother Brandyn!! It’s been a long road but Shawna is almost at the point of one of our major goals! Her transplant! Soon we will get to celebrate her Rebirth day and we are all extremely excited! 

*Shayla Uhlig is organizing this fundraising event on behalf of her sister, Shawna Hilligus, to help raise vital funds for her medical expenses*

To know Shawna is to know love, strength, optimism, kindness, and positivity! She brings so much joy and life into any room she enters!

On December 31st, 2020 Shawna was diagnosed with Gamma/Delta T-Cell Lymphoma at just 30 years old, this is not something any young woman expects to deal with..

Shawna and her supportive husband, Rob, have a combined four amazing children; Natalee (11), Landyn (10), Brookelynn (4), and Kennedy (1). And since finding out the devastating news have just recently begun their battle against cancer. 

Since finding out Shawna has begun her course of action and her first therapy treatment, CHOP, with the ultimate goal to get Shawna healthy enough to receive a Stem Cell Transplant. 

All funds raised will go towards helping Shawna continue her fight, explore all options available to her, and take the huge financial cost off of them as a family. 

We would like to thank all those who have supported Shawna since her prognosis. Anyone who has met her is in complete awe of her positivity and determination. Cancer may have started the fight but Shawna will finish it!

Shawna is BRAVE. Shawna is STRONG. Shawna is POWERFUL. Shawna will CONQUER this!
