Angela’s spirit shines through unimaginable challenges — from a devastating shattered knee injury in December to stage 4 cervical cancer in May. She refuses to give up! Unable to work since her knee injury, she is facing mounting medical and living costs. With your help, she, Ben, and their son Sam can keep focusing on her recovery, hope, and the life she’s determined to live fully and beautifully.

Angela is a 43-year-old mom, partner, sister, daughter, niece, aunt, and friend who is courageously battling stage 4 cervical cancer.

She is enduring grueling chemotherapy treatments, yet continues to inspire everyone around her with her strength, love, authenticity, creativity, humor, and passion for hockey.

Angela has always been the kind of person who shows up for others—with her warmth, quick wit, and unwavering loyalty. Whether playing as a formidable defensive hockey player, cheering from the hockey stands for her son, laughing with friends, or sharing everyday moments with her family, Angela brings light and connection wherever she goes.

Why We’re Fundraising

As you can imagine, cancer brings not only emotional and physical challenges—but also financial ones.

Between medical bills, transportation to appointments, lost work, and day-to-day living costs, the expenses add up quickly.

Your donations will help cover:
• Out-of-pocket medical expenses and medications
• Transportation to and from treatments
• Daily living costs during this difficult season
• Resources, holistic doctors, supplements, and healing treatments to support Angela’s recovery

Your support will ease this burden and allow Angela to focus on what matters most—her health and her family.

⸻

The Heart of Her Family

Angela is deeply loved by her partner Ben, their 12-year-old son Sam, and their three kitties—Jinx, Phantom, and Buster—who bring her comfort and companionship every day.

Family and community mean everything to her, and knowing that others are standing beside her gives Angela strength as she continues her fight.

How You Can Help

Every donation—no matter the size—makes a real difference.

Your contribution helps lift this heavy financial weight, and just as importantly, sharing this campaign with your own network helps spread Angela’s story and expands her circle of support.

Your kindness reminds Angela that she is not alone—that an entire team is cheering her on, just like in her beloved hockey games.

⸻

With Deep Gratitude

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Angela in her fight against cancer.

Your love, support, and encouragement mean more than words can express.
Together, we can help give Angela the strength, relief, and hope she needs as she continues this battle.
