Support Katie's Battle Against Mesothelioma

I’m reaching out to share the story of my amazing mom, Katie, who has recently been diagnosed with sarcomatoid mesothelioma. As many of you know, she is the glue of our family—always the loving, compassionate cheerleader by our side, and the BEST mom and friend. Now, she faces her hardest challenge yet.

On August 29, 2024, just a week before returning to her classroom, Katie's world was turned upside down. After experiencing back pain over the summer, doctors discovered a phone-sized mass in her lungs. Despite this news, she attended her annual music festival, but upon returning, she underwent a biopsy that revealed further complications, prompting her to step back from teaching to focus on her health.

We are asking for support—whether it's prayers, sharing this link, or making a donation. The funds will go directly toward Katie’s treatment plans, medical expenses, and everyday bills. Your generosity can help ease the financial burden this disease brings. If you can’t donate, sharing this link with others and raising awareness about mesothelioma is still a meaningful contribution.

We are so grateful for the love and kindness from Katie’s community. Her children Austin, Colby and Maddy, bonus children Kelsie, Wyatt and Lane, husband Rory, and extended family cannot thank you enough. This is her battle, and we're standing with her in solidarity. Thank you for your support!
