Shelly McNamara Fight Against Cancer
Donation protected
About a year and a half ago, my mom (Shelly McNamara) was diagnosed with nonhodgkins lymphoma. She has been receiving treatment after treatment.
Just when we thought things were getting better, we were informed that she received a new diagnosis of Nonhodgkins Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. Before we knew it, the cancer had metastasized to almost all over her body.
It has been extremely difficult watching the cancer take over my mom's body and debilitate her from doing the things she loves to do. Last winter, my mom was making winter headbands, lotions, chapstick, etc., and selling them to raise money for her treatments. I loved that she was doing this to keep herself busy. But she can no longer do this. My mom has always been into music and showed me a love for music as well. A few years ago she was a backup singer and supporter of a couple bands. She loved dressing up and going to these shows to support musicians and getting to rock out. Although she can no longer attend, the community she became a part of has shown tremendous support back to her during this difficult time.
Doctors are doing everything they can to fight this aggressive disease and make her comfortable at the same time. But of course, medical bills aren't cheap. There is a fundraising concert going on on February 2nd at 7pm at Road Rangers in Taylor, Michigan. 100% of the proceeds are going to my mom's medical bills. It has come to my attention that not everyone who is interested in going is able to attend. Therefore, I figured this would be the easiest way for people who want to donate, but can't attend the show, to do so.
Thank you everyone. Every little bit helps.
