As some of you may already know, at the end of October, Corinne Boyd, an amazing wife, mom and grandma to five boys, was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. She had a tumor removed from one of her ovaries and is still recovering from that intense surgery. She's currently waiting to be scheduled for chemotherapy treatments which will start sometime in the next few weeks and continue for about 5 months.
Corinne is my mom and also one of my closest friends. She's the toughest woman I know but is struggling with what this battle will entail for her and my dad. In order to allow her the full mental energy she needs to fight for her life, I'd love to remove some of the financial burden that my parents are facing.
Mom has remained positive and extremely strong throughout this whole ordeal. However, many of you have expressed your desire to help out and so I've decided to set up a donations page. My parents have insurance but cancer treatments are expensive even with insurance coverage. So the money would go towards hospital bills, medication, chemo treatments, etc. No amount is too small and any amount donated would be greatly appreciated. We'll also accept prayers and positive vibes :)
She has an incredible support network of family and friends that have gone above and beyond to help these last few weeks as well. Mom, Dad and our entire family are so thankful for all your support and love. Thank you.
Note to anyone who knows Corinne personally: if at all possible, I'd like this to stay a secret so it can be a Christmas surprise for her :)
