A few weeks ago, Kelly shared heartbreaking news with the people who have followed and supported her throughout her career, that she has been diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic inflammatory breast cancer.

What started as Stage 3, and already a frightening diagnosis, became even more devastating after additional scans showed that the cancer had spread extensively to her bones, including her spine, hips, pelvis, and ribs.

Everything has changed.

After years of hard work, performing, creating, and bringing joy to so many people through projects with organizations including Disney Records, Disney Cruise Line, Universal Japan, and SIX, she has now been advised by her medical team to step away from her performing career for the foreseeable future to focus on her health.

She is beginning an intensive long-term treatment journey and I’d like us all to make sure that she’s not alone.

Rather than traditional chemotherapy being the first treatment, her doctors have chosen a targeted treatment approach involving a CDK4/6 inhibitor and hormone-blocking therapy, designed specifically for her type of cancer. Her doctors are hopeful that this treatment can control the disease for years, but there is still so much uncertainty ahead.

And while the medical treatment is the most important part of this fight, cancer affects far more than the body.

It means missed work.

Medical expenses.

Living expenses.

Appointments and medications.

Time away from the career she loves.

And the emotional weight of trying to make decisions while simultaneously processing her Stage 4 diagnosis.

We are creating this GoFundMe to give Kelly something incredibly important. Time. Time to focus on treatment instead of worrying about how the bills will get paid. Time to rest. Time to attend appointments and follow her treatment plan. Time to take care of herself without feeling like she has to choose between her health and financial survival.

Our goal is to help cover medical and treatment related expenses, transportation to appointments, living costs, everyday bills, and other unexpected expenses that come with stepping away from work during this fight.

Stage 4 does not mean giving up.

There are treatments available today that didn’t exist years ago. There is research continuing every day. There is hope for long-term control, and there is the possibility of reaching No Evidence of Disease (NED).

But she shouldn’t have to fight cancer and financial stress at the same time.

Donate if you’re able.

If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as valuable. One share could put this story in front of someone who can make a life changing difference.

Anything helps. Every share matters. Every message of support matters.

And most importantly, every contribution helps give Kelly the opportunity to put her energy where it belongs. Fighting for her health, her future, and more time to live the life she was building.

Thank you for reading her story, supporting her, sharing her fundraiser, and standing beside her during one of the hardest chapters of her life.

Let’s help take some of the weight off her shoulders so she can focus on what matters most, focusing on her health.

If you can, donate. If you can’t, share. Thanks again.
