Hi Friends. I am raising funds my incredible friend Jamie—a devoted mom, a passionate business owner, and a light in the lives of so many—who is courageously facing a diagnosis of advanced-stage ovarian cancer.Jamie has already endured surgery and due to complications an additional emergency surgery this week.
In addition to the initial diagnosis, Jamie is navigating a complex treatment journey that includes ongoing treatment and additional care as doctors work to address areas beyond the original diagnosis.
While she continues to fight with strength and grace, the road ahead will require time, energy, and resources.
Jamie has always been the person who shows up for others. As the heart behind Perform Pittsburgh, she has built far more than a business—she has created a community where kids feel supported, motivated, and truly seen.
Above all, Jamie is an amazing mother. Her kids are her world, and every decision she makes is grounded in love for them. Right now, her focus needs to be on healing, resting, and spending precious time with her family—not on financial stress.
This fundraiser is meant to give Jamie and her family some breathing room: help with medical expenses, treatment-related costs, time away from work, and the everyday bills that don’t pause for illness. Every donation, share, and kind word helps lift a little weight off her shoulders.
If you are able, please consider supporting Jamie in this season. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page and keeping her in your thoughts means more than you know.
Thank you for standing with Jamie and showing her just how loved she is.
