Jules' Breast Cancer Fund

After getting her yearly mammogram recently, Julianne (Jules) Babcock got the phone call.  Many of us know what that means. You are supposed to get a letter in the mail...all is well, see you next year.  The phone call is that personalized step you do not want. It means something needs to be said. And in its truest form of doctor office protocol, it was not good news.  Jules has breast cancer. There are several tumors. Some have spread a bit. She needs a double mastectomy. The good news is they caught this early. Surgery and some other treatments should yield a strong prognosis.  Since this is Jules’ second brave bout with cancer, we are so grateful for that part of this heart wrenching picture. The bad news is Jules could be in surgery and recovery for at least 3 months. She is an hourly employee and all those wages will be lost during her healing time, as well as having additional, unanticipated out of pocket costs that go with such a major surgery.


If you know Jules, you know her fierce determination to do anything she puts her mind to.  She is absolutely determined to beat this, and to do it with a strong sense of gratitude and optimism.  As a wife to Charlie and a mother to Brodie 12, and Lila 9, she is the unwavering pillar of strength and devotion to her family.  Her biggest worry, aside from beating cancer for the second time is how she will continue to support and care for her family. Jules is the mom whom others see pulling off any Pinterest recipe or handmade costume she desires.  Her sense of humor and enthusiasm for being at any event are apparent as soon as she arrives anywhere. She has an intellectual and spiritual vigor that anyone who knows her will attest to. As a marathon runner, a professional dental hygienist, and a leader in her community, Jules is always the person you can turn to if you need anything at all.  She is the friend that drops everything and comes to your aid, no questions asked. Now it is our turn to be there for her. Please consider making a donation to Jules and her family during this trying time. You are not only helping her financially, you are her support network, her dependable friends, her loyal family. Your assistance is much appreciated!
