UPDATE: It is with incredible disbelief to write that Rebecca moved on from her journey here on earth the evening of July 10, 2026 - 10 months after her diagnosis. She documented her journey through approximately 168 videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeccaMacLean

If you do wish to donate to her family - the go-fund-me is still open and money will be sent to help Thomas, Nate, Oliver and Georgia in this time of enormous change.

ONE MONTH - July 10, 2026 ..... One month since I said goodbye to my longest friend, Rebecca MacLean, and my heart is still trying to catch up.

She fought - no one can ever say she didn't fight till the very end of her time in her body, on this spiritual path... but she said a few times she was going to rise like a phoenix... and I believe she has, just not in the ways we thought she would.

Becca lived in a way that so many of us say we want to, but too often don't. In her short 53 years, she loved fiercely, she laughed loudly and she embraced ALL people with her whole heart. She lived LARGE, even when life became unimaginably small.

Cancer is cruel. Even when you think you're moving toward remission, it can zigzag in directions you never saw coming. It doesn't play fair. It steals time, rewrites plans, and asks far too much of the people fighting it and those who love them.

I refuse to say Becca lost her fight. Her transition on July 10, 2026, wasn't a defeat, it was a phoenix rising in a way none of us were prepared for. While we grieve the incredible void she leaves, I choose to believe she has simply changed form, free from pain, leaving behind a legacy far greater than cancer could ever touch.

She leaves behind four extraordinary children, whose strength and resilience reflect the incredible mother she is. They will carry her love with them forever, even as they feel the weight of her absence. She leaves parents who should never have to bury a child. She leaves two brothers she adored with a bond I've rarely seen between siblings and a partner who stood by her side through it all.

And she leaves behind an army of loves, friends, and family who she loved more deeply, and they loved her back incredibly beyond words, perhaps even more than she ever truly realized.

If there is one thing Becca would want us to remember, I don't think it would be to dwell on the sadness. I KNOW she'd tell us to stop WAITING. (she told me this many times!!)

-Take the trip.

-Make the call.

-Say "I love you."

-Laugh until your stomach hurts.

-Wear the dress. (or the wig or the heels - especially the heels!!)

-Start the business.

-Write the book.

-Dance in the kitchen.

Live the life you've been putting off until "someday." Because someday isn't promised.

So please, do what Becca did. LOVE big. LIVE large. Don't WAIT.

Live a life that is unapologetically your own!

Cancer sucks. Love wins.

And some people leave footprints on our hearts that time will never erase. ❤️ In memory of Rebecca MacLean

Help Rebecca MacLean Fight for Her Life — Together, We Can Turn Hope Into Healing

Rebecca (Becca) is a warrior !! A devoted mom, a loving partner, a loyal friend, amazing daughter, fun-loving sister, and a bright light to everyone lucky enough to know her. At just 52 years old, she’s facing the fight of her life: Stage 4 Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

This is not an easy diagnosis — but Rebecca is not giving up.

She has four incredible children, two still in high school, who are her world. She’s surrounded by love — her partner, family spread across the globe, lifelong friends from every chapter of her life, and a community that knows her heart, her kindness, and her strength.

Rebecca has always been the one cheering others on — the one showing up, lifting spirits, and making life brighter. Now, she needs us to show up for her.

Cancer is not only an emotional and physical battle — it’s a financial one.

While she undergoes treatments and consultations with multiple doctors, she’s also exploring alternative therapies, supplements, mental health support, vitamins, dietary changes, and holistic approaches — all of which are critical to her healing and not covered by traditional healthcare.

You can follow her journey on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeccaMacLean

Our goal is to help Rebecca:

This is a fight for her life, and our love, thoughts, and contributions can help turn hope into reality. Every donation, big or small, is a step toward giving Rebecca more time, more strength, and more moments with the people she loves most.

We also want Rebecca to feel all our positive vibrations to help her fight back this cancer into remission!

Please donate if you can, share this campaign, share stores and videos and keep Rebecca in your thoughts!

Together, as her family and friends around the world, we can help her keep fighting — and believe in miracles.

Hope is stronger when we hold it together.

With love and gratitude,

— on behalf of Rebecca and her family
