Shockingly, our amazingly generous, beautiful, fun-loving, and kind-hearted friend has been diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia, essentially a cancer of the bone marrow..

Jen is a 23-year old devoted friend and is a nurse at Washington Hospital Center in D.C. Jen, diagnosed on 1/31/13, currently remains in D.C. She has already begun treatment and her fight against APL. She will remain in D.C. for three weeks for her first round of treatment and will then begin her transition to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA.

As a nurse, Jen has made a professional and personal commitment to care for and help others. I am sure we can all agree that Jen would be the first person to help in any one of our times of need. Let's help Jen raise money for her medical expenses and her transition home to be closer to her family and friends.
