Dear friends and supporters,

Around this time last year, at the age of 29, I faced the unimaginable: I was diagnosed with one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer, for which there is currently no cure. This devastating news turned my world upside down, challenging me in ways I could never have anticipated.

Over the past year, I have navigated through unimaginable challenges and moments of profound uncertainty. Yet, today, I stand here with deep gratitude in my heart. Gratitude for the exceptional care and treatment provided by my medical team, and for the unwavering support from my family, friends, and colleagues.

In light of this, I am launching a fundraising campaign to support innovative brain cancer research. The funds will be directed to the Mayo Clinic, where my surgeon leads a groundbreaking research team making remarkable progress in the field.

This journey and our fundraising efforts are not just about finding a cure for me; they are about finding a cure for everyone affected by this relentless disease. Together, we can make a profound impact. Let’s support the Mayo Clinic and help turn the tide against brain cancer.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Warm regards,
