Sam is one of the most wonderful mothers, friends, employees, trainers and humans I know. She has recently been given a great challenge in life with her diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer. It is time for someone who spends most of her waking moments thinking of other people to get support from the people she spends so much time caring  about. Through the last several months of weekly/bi-weekly chemo sessions, I've witnessed this woman show strength, courage and resilience that I only hope to have in any struggle I may face. I have to fight her to not come right from chemo and go back into the office for work. She is constantly thinking about her family, her friends and her job. I want to make sure we think about her and show her the support she has shown so many.
As you may know, people with cancer face many hardships and battles, but fighting to survive financially should not be one of them.  42% of cancer patients exhaust their life savings in the first two years. She may get mad at me knowing that I am doing this, but it's time she knows that people are here for her as much as she has been there for them. Please consider donating to this cause. Her family, friends and coworkers appreciate anything you can give to help Sam focus on her fight, and not as much on the bills that come in the mail every day.
