Emily’s world changed when she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive metastatic head and neck cancer. Since then, she has faced a whirlwind of surgeries, countless medical appointments, and the challenges of chemotherapy with remarkable strength and resilience.

As Emily prepares for an upcoming intensive surgery and a long road of treatment afterward, her journey will likely extend beyond her local care team. Due to the rarity and complexity of her cancer, future treatment may involve travel to specialized centers and participation in clinical trials that offer the most advanced options available.

This fundraiser is intended to support those next steps - helping Emily access leading-edge care, cover travel and lodging for clinical trials, and pursue every possible avenue in her fight.

Emily is surrounded by an incredible community and a deeply supportive village of friends and family. Your generosity will help ensure she can focus on what matters most: healing, exploring every treatment opportunity, and building a long, healthy future with her husband Derek and her sweet daughter, Flora.

Thank you for being part of Emily's fight - whether through donating or simply sharing her story.
