Rally for Marlise: Overcoming Cancer Again

*Help Marlise Heal From Cancer, Again*

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

My name is Katie Sapp, Marlise has become family over our 20+ year friendship and this fundraiser is for her.

In October 2020, Marlise, was diagnosed with rectal cancer. She fought hard, endured dozens of procedures and treatments, and finally, after being poked and prodded and pumped full of harsh treatments, went into remission!

Unfortunately, recent routine check-ups revealed a new growth on her liver. Her doctor will now have to perform multiple procedures on August 1. They will perform an ablation to the golf ball sized lesion on her liver, section off pieces of her liver which is called a “hepatectomy”, and then insert an infusion pump that will continuously deliver powerful chemotherapy directly to the affected area.

Marlise has always faced life's challenges with strength and grace, but now she needs our support more than ever. Despite the hurdles, she and her husband continue to work hard to provide for their two beautiful children. However, Marlise will be unable to work for at least two months due to her medical treatments and recovery. And that is just a prediction with what we know right now.

We want Marlise to focus on her health and family during this difficult time, without the added stress of financial worries. This GoFundMe is set up to help cover medical expenses, daily living costs, and anything else the family may need. 

Marlise would 100% never ask for this help herself, but it’s time for community to rally around her. Let’s show her that she isn’t facing this battle alone. Your support, whether through donations or sharing this campaign, will make a wonderful difference.

Stay tuned for updates as we get more details on her progress. Please show this amazing family some love and support.

Thank you in advance. <3 <3
