Ellen Donoghue, our friend and an integral part of the Columbia River Gorge community, is taking on an very advanced form of cancer and needs our help. Now is our chance to show her she's not alone and to help her meet her living expenses and medical-related costs.

The aggressive chemotherapy she is on, is both a terrible experience and how she will beat the disease we are all only one lump away from.

As it would be for most non-profit advocates who have spent their life working for wildlife conservation and the planet instead of a personal nest egg, the fight for her life has created an extreme financial hardship that she shouldn't have to bear alone.

Whether you know Ellen from her work building homes for osprey in the Columbia River Gorge, her work with the Rowena Wildlife Clinic helping injured animals, dog sled racing, or her advocacy working for African wildlife in Malali, please join us today in making a donation to help Ellen.

The cancer, the chemo and the rare side effects of what was intended as an immune system support drug, have all taken their toll on Ellen's health, but not her indomitable spirit!

Thank you in advance for donating whatever amount you can and spreading this fundraiser to your friends and family. If you are able to reach out and support Ellen in other ways or just to let her know your thoughts are with her, please do.
