Laurie is facing one of the toughest challenges of her life after being diagnosed with Hormone positive (ER/PR+) Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC). In just a few weeks, she will undergo a double mastectomy, followed by additional testing to determine if chemotherapy and radiation will be necessary. No matter the outcome, Laurie will need to take hormone-blocking medication every day for the next 5-10 years to give her the best chance at recovery and long-term health.

The financial burden of this diagnosis is significant. Laurie is facing high-deductible and out-of-pocket costs not only for the remainder of this year, but also as the new insurance plan year begins. These expenses include premiums, copays, and many additional costs that come with ongoing cancer treatment. By supporting this fundraiser, you can help ensure Laurie receives the life-saving care she needs.

So many people who love Laurie have reached out, asking how they can help. If you feel moved to support her—whether through a donation or by sharing this page—your kindness will make a real difference in her journey. Thank you for standing with Laurie.
