Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
We’re reaching out today to rally around an incredible young woman – Lore Pepper – who is facing one of the biggest challenges of her life. Lore, at just 39 years old, has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, a reality that no one her age should ever have to face.
These medical hurdles have prevented Lore from being able to do what she loves most – styling hair. She finds joy in helping others feel beautiful and confident with her amazing hairstyling talents. For the last 18 years Lore has worked as an elite stylist and has served as a mentor for new stylists in training at Ulta Beauty.

Lore is known for her kindness, sense of humor, creativity, and fierce love for her family and friends. She’s someone who loves to help others, even when it’s hard. Now, it's our turn to help her.

—— What She's Facing ——
Lore has had to endure several emergency room visits and hospital stays. She has received biopsy results and her doctors have confirmed a diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
Her path right now is uncertain, but it is guaranteed to be a difficult one. She is facing a future of even more medical appointments, treatments, and therapies.
She may need to undergo chemo, radiation, and/or surgery. These treatment paths come with significant physical and emotional tolls, in addition to significant financial strain.
Between medical bills, doctor’s appointments, time off work, and basic living expenses, the costs have already added up quickly before she even began her journey to fight cancer.
—— How You Can Help ——
We’ve created this fundraiser to help ease the burden so Lore can focus on what matters most: healing. Your donation — big or small — will go directly toward:
- Medical bills and treatment costs
- Living expenses while she’s unable to work
- Supportive therapies and recovery resources
Every dollar helps, and every share spreads the word. Most importantly, every act of kindness reminds Lore she is not alone in this fight.

—— Let’s Lift Lore Up ——
If you know Lore Pepper, you know she’s a fighter. She’s facing this head-on with courage and grace, but she shouldn’t have to do it alone. Please consider donating, sharing this campaign, and keeping Lore in your thoughts as she goes through this difficult journey. Your support will help this Pepper punch cancer!
With love and gratitude,
Team Lore
