Knocking Cancer off the Board

My name is Nicole Morgan.  

Many of you know that Matt, Sarah, and I hold an annual charity board game marathon at our house. Since 2013, we have raised over $10,000 for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. But this year we are raising for a slightly different cause: Helping my Aunt Tina knock cancer off the board!

Over this past summer, my Aunt Tina was going about life as normal, working her nursing shift at the local hospital. Out of the blue, Tina started experiencing symptoms of what she thought was a heart attack. After visiting the emergency room of her own hospital, she learned that her symptoms were the result of a blood clot near her heart and that several tumors were discovered, requiring an immediate biopsy.  

The results indicated both stage 4 breast and lymph node cancer. Through various scans, additional tumors were found, with some tumors in her hip making it painful to walk.  Imagine going to work feeling fine one morning, ending up in the emergency room, and then receiving such news 5 days later. 

Normally, Tina is the one administering cancer treatment to patients. Overnight, she has become the person receiving them. Tina has a long road of treatment ahead of her, but we are here to help her knock cancer off the board. 

Please support us in our charity marathon this year by donating to this GoFundMe page. The money will directly go to Tina and her family, assisting them with various costs not covered by insurance. Even small donations here will help alleviate the difficulties brought on by these challenging circumstances.  

Tina and her family (my Uncle Louie and cousin Louis) are all amazing people who would help anyone, no matter the circumstances. If possible, I would love to give back to them for all they do. 

At our last board game marathon, we raised $2,731.00. This year, we are setting our sights on beating that amount, to make a serious contribution to Tina's battle and recovery. Please donate or share, to help us exceed that past total this year. If you would like more information on our marathon, let us know!
