Dear Friends and Kind hearted supporters,

We are reaching out on behalf of our mom, Karen Downing who is bravely battling pancreatic cancer. This journey has been incredibly challenging, not only physically and emotionally, but also financially. The costs Karen and Dad (Curt) owe for her treatment, medications, and frequent travel for medical care have become an overwhelming burden.

Karen is one of the most strong, generous and understanding friends. She has always supported us and others with love and a helping hand whenever needed. Now it's our turn to rally around her and Curt in their time of need.

Your donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly toward:

-medical expenses and treatment not covered by insurance

-travel costs for appointments for specialized care.

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand, but please consider sharing this fundraiser with your network. Every bit of support—whether financial or simply spreading the word—means so much.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. Let’s help Karen fight this battle with the strength of a community behind them.
