Friends and Family,

We are coming together for one of our dearest and strongest loved ones, Lauren O’Brien-Mindemann, as she faces a challenging journey with grace and determination. In December, Lauren was diagnosed with Stage 3A Mucinous Adenocarcinoma, a form of lung cancer. She has already begun her first round of chemotherapy, demonstrating incredible resilience and hope as she fights for a cure. Her love and focus remain steadfast on her husband, Alex, and their sweet baby girl, Ella, as they face this battle as a family.

Lauren is grateful for the support and encouragement she has received so far and remains determined to overcome this. Her treatment plan includes four rounds of chemotherapy, followed by a lung resection surgery to remove the affected part of her lung. This is a critical step in her journey to recovery, and it comes with both physical and financial challenges.

As you can imagine, the costs associated with cancer treatment—chemotherapy, surgery, follow-up care, and daily living expenses—can quickly become overwhelming. We hope to ease this burden and give Lauren and her family the space to focus fully on her health and healing. By standing together, we can help her meet this challenge head-on and ensure she has all the resources she needs for success.

Lauren is one of the kindest, most selfless, and funniest people we know. She lights up every room she enters, always ready to support and lift up others. Now it’s our chance to give back and be there for her in her time of need. Every gesture of support—whether through a donation, sharing her story, or simply sending words of encouragement—means the world to Lauren and her family.

Together, let’s help Lauren navigate this path with strength and love. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity as we join Lauren in her fight for a cure.
