CNN.com Strong for Julie Miller Weber

For those of us who had the pleasure of working with Julie Miller Weber at CNN.com, we know she was often the glue holding our colorful, crazy work family together.  

Now let's be there for her. Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. Initially, her surgeon thought she would only need a quick bout of radiation and be done. As it turns out, she needed more chemotherapy as a preventative treatment due to one risky marker. 

There is a silver lining in all of this. Julie is expected to make a full recovery. She's currently undergoing chemo treatments and her sister says she's doing well. As you know, chemotherapy is just the beginning for many breast cancer survivors and it can take some people a while to get back to a "new normal." 

Here's where our CNN.com family comes in. We'd like to make life a little easier for Julie,  her husband John and their three boys while she's undergoing treatment and healing.

We greatly appreciate donations of any amount so we can send Julie gift cards for grocery + food delivery or Amazon, Target and Wal-Mart. 

Julie's sister, Melissa, says she'd be so touched that her former CNN.com family is thinking about her and cheering her on. She'll rarely ask for help and these gift cards will be put to good use. 

This is being organized by Jackie Adams, Kim Gross and Leslie Tookes.  We will make sure everyone who donates is acknowledged in the card. 

Shhhhhh! We want to surprise Julie. Please share secretly with any current/former CNN.com crew who may want to contribute.  

oxox,

Your CNN.com family
