Earlier this month, Lisa Wells Franke was diagnosed with a brain tumor (glioblastoma), turning life upside down for her and her family in an instant.

Lisa is an incredible wife to Ben Franke and mother to Brooke and Sydney, and anyone who knows their family knows how close they are. She has always been their biggest supporter, and this has been an incredibly difficult and emotional time for them all.

Lisa has since undergone surgery to remove the tumor and is now beginning her recovery as she prepares for the next phase of treatment. While the surgery was successful, the road ahead will require strength, time, and support.

During this time, Ben, Brooke, and Sydney are focused on being by Lisa's side as much as possible, including traveling to be with her and staying nearby during her recovery.

Many friends and loved ones have asked how they can help. This fundraiser has been created to support Lisa and her family with:

Any support — whether through a donation or simply sharing this page — means so much to the Wells and Franke family during this incredibly challenging time.

Thank you for keeping Lisa, Ben, Brooke, Sydney, and their family in your thoughts, and for your support.
