My name is Dianne and many of you know me from Healthy Spot/Holistic Hound in Berkeley, CA. I'm raising money for my friend and co-worker, Deborah, who is fighting cancer in her pancreas and lymph nodes. She has undergone 2 major surgeries and was briefly in remission; however, she learned last week that there has been spread in both areas.

What I am raising money for right now is the cost of receiving a second opinion from doctors at UCSF or Stanford. If this is an expense she is able to have covered otherwise, any raised money will go towards the many associated expenses of her ongoing treatment, care and general support. Many of you know how generous and kind Deb is, and I want to be able to rally around her with the same sincere compassion she shows to others. Thank you so much for any contribution you are able to make.
