Samantha Ballard-Caban

As most of you know my sister Sam has been battling Metastatic Breast Cancer HER 2positive the last several years. She, just 28 years young, has been one tough Mama juggling her sickness, treatments, friendships, relationships, work, and still managing to be the most amazing Mother to my handsome nephews, Jace and Jaxon. Although she managed to put up one amazing fight, as it turns out life had other plans for her. We've now come to the cruel reality that her cancer is terminal.

We want the rest of Sam's journey to be exactly how she lived her life: kickin' ass and takin' names. Our intensions are to bring as much joy to the lives of Sam, Dave, Jace, Jaxon, Hailee, and Camren and those she loved the most while she still can. We're hoping to aid with medical bills, the cost of daily routine activities as she's no longer able to work, and hopefully provide a few magical moments for her and her family.

As we celebrate Sam's life journey, we're also wanting to keep the children in mind as they're so young. Memories will the most precious gift we can give. As Norman Cousins said "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies within us while we live."
