Recently we received some upsetting news regarding Tina's health. We need to rally behind her and give her the support she needs.

Tina has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (a type of cancer that affects plasma cells, which are white blood cells that produce antibodies). It has developed in her bone marrow and will require chemotherapy to combat the disease. On top of fighting chemotherapy, she is dealing with Amyloidosis (accumulation of amyloid protein in various organs and tissues throughout the body), which will require a heart transplant.

Tina is a very positive and strong individual who will fight through these issues, but that being said, she will need help from loved ones and friends.

Let's help Tina in this time of need. When I think of Tina, I think of an Easternway - #3: care deeply. She cares deeply about those around her, and we should care deeply about her. Reflect on this Easternway and what Tina has done for you or for others. She has touched many hearts of those who have worked with her. If you can, please contribute what you can to help someone who has never asked for help but has always extended a hand to others in their time of need. Let's support Tina so that she can focus on fighting through these illnesses and bounce back even stronger!
