An Update on our Friend Jessica…

Jessica’s best friend (also named Jessica) sent me an update on her tonight that I wanted to post on here. MANY of you helped our fundraising efforts earlier this year and we appreciate it SO much!! She’s halfway done with the whole cancer treatment process and is doing great! Jess sent me this pic of the two of them together at her 31st b-day this weekend:

And this update…..

“Hello Everyone! 

I just wanted to send an update on my friend Jessica who is fighting breast cancer. She has been doing amazingly well! Almost 6 months have passed and she is halfway done with her treatments. She just finished her final round of Chemotherapy and now she is going to start the second portion of her treatment and maybe the hardest, daily radiation. She has had the strongest faith and brightest attitude of anyone I know; throughout this entire process she has just rolled with the punches.

She has trudged to work even when she was extremely ill with vomiting, made it to family functions without her hair and even worked through a scare when they thought that the cancer might have spread to her brain. They found out that it hadn’t but what a tremendous cross to bear while caring for other sick patients as a nurse herself!

We totaled over $5000 for her in our first round of fundraising but she still has a long road ahead. The radiation has significant side effects, comparable (if not worse) than the chemo and she will need all the help we can offer her! For someone who has whole-heartedly cared for others and sacrificed herself so many times even while battling such a frightening, unrelenting disease, she truly is selfless.

I feel that she deserves the encouragement and support of others to give back to her what she has given to so many others. She just celebrated her 31st birthday and I want us to be able to show her this will be a better year than the last and she still has all of us behind her to see her through! If you would like to donate (for a first or even second time) please visit the webpage dedicated to her at:

Donations are accepted through paypal at no charge by either check or credit card!”

Let’s see if together we can raise another $5,000 to help her get through the 2nd half of her treatments!! 🙂
