My name is Molly McGreevy. I was born and raised in Utica, NY but have lived on Mackinac Island for almost 22 years. This is so hard for me to do as I am a very private person. But here goes. On January 29th 2015 I found out I have cancer. I have an invasive breast cancer, that is also in some lymph nodes, that I will need Surgery, chemotherapy and possibly radiation. The news has been devastating to my husband and I. We married on September 9, 2013. He is my soul mate. We cannot imagine life without each other. He started a new job in May after working for the same company for almost 30 years. The company restructured and luckily he was able to find a good job. We also are moving due to not being able to afford the rent. It doesn't rain, it pours. lol. My surgeon and Oncologist said that I will not be able to perform my job this summer as a Private Carriage Tour Driver on Mackinac Island. This is a crushing blow as I love giving tours and I love my horses. I've been doing private tours for over 18 years. However with the chemotherapy I will be weak, and succeptible to viruses and infection because my immune system will be down. With the surgery I will be unable to lift or strong enough to drive the horses. So times are going to be very tough for a while. Our community is wonderful and has helped. But we are still struggling financially. My Jeep has over 123,000 miles and has major electrical, and suspension problems. We don't know how much longer it will last and we never drive over 50 miles away anymore. With all this going on we are going to need help. Even with financial help from the community and our insurance we had spent over $2000. out of pocket in less than a month on travel expenses for appointments and copays, etc. We are overwhelmed emotionally and financially. If you can help us even in a small way by donating it would mean so much to helping me win this fight with Cancer. My mom died of breast cancer back in 1986, and I don't intend to go that way. I'm not ashamed to admit I am scared. But I plan on winning this battle. Anyone that knows me knows that I never give up. Please donate. Thank you.
