Support Pat and Tara through cancer treatment

Tara was surprised the week of January 25th with a trip to the emergency room where she was diagnosed with RSV. She was given antibiotics and went home to rest and recover; the next day she suffered from headache, fever and other symptoms that she thought warranted another trip to the hospital.

After blood work and bone marrow tests it was clear to the medical team she had leukemia, a rare form so they took time to figure out the diagnosis to be sure of what treatment they should move forward with.

Tara has now been diagnosed with AML - acute myeloid leukemia. There have been blood transfusions and many scans and blood tests and today, Feb 4th, there was a diagnosis. Now they have moved forward with chemotherapy.

Tara will be in treatment and recovery for an undetermined amount of time and it will be a strain on her and Pat, mentally, emotionally and financially. She is so thankful for all the messages of love and support that she's already received, but it will be a long road.

Please help Tara and Pat get through this trying time by giving what you can to help with medical expenses and loss of income.
