Meet Jen. And Cooper. And Cohen.
When I first started my journey into the world of photography, I was introduced to this mama’s amazing talent. Her giving heart. Her clear wantingness to elevate this industry. I was in awe – she’s as amazing as she seems and more.
And now, she needs our help. Your help. Your friends’ help. Your mom, Your sister, Your old college roommate. she needs them all to help.
Nine months ago Jen was diagnosed with aggressive ovarian cancer. She had a radical hysterectomy. She endured rounds of chemo…but due to complications from that chemo her numbers are climbing again.
What exactly does that mean? It means that doctors have said she’s got 12 to 18 months. That time, hugs, moments, memories, kisses, smiles…everything with her two sweet boys is now on some crazy time table. BUT, there is this amazing clinical trial with the Mayo Clinic and Jen’s in…well, if she can raise the some $63,000 it will take to pay for the trial and the flights back and forth from Oregon.
That money amount sounds HUGE, I know, but really would you put a price tag on extra hugs with your kids? A chance to see them grow into the amazing men you know they’ll be?
