Fund Judy's Fight

Donation protected
On December 3, 2018, Judy Acker-Smith was rushed to the hospital after experiencing a tingling in her arm and a feeling of confusion.  A scan confirmed a tumor in her brain that was later diagnosed as glioblastoma multiform (GBM), the most aggressive and lethal form of brain cancer.  With the tumor being deemed inoperable, Judy's treatment plan is centered around 6 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy.  In addition, she has begun a strict regimen of natural supplements and an organic, plant-based diet to help boost her immune system in order to keep those cancer cells from replicating.

We continue to pursue second opinions that may adjust her treatment plans, but we will keep you posted.

Judy is ready to fight for her life, and needs your help!  Please consider donating to help ensure she receives the best care available on this journey.  Funds will go towards medical bills, medications, travel for treatment, grocery bills, and things that make Judy smile =)

"Team Judy" has also set up a CaringBridge Site to provide status updates to friends/family and to share messages of encouragement and compassion.  Visit online at https://www.caringbridge.org/public/judyackersmith
