Support Brittany's Battle Against Cancer
Donation protected
Brittany Violette has been a keys resident her whole life. Years of fishing, diving, and good keys fun. Working local and a true keys kid to adult.
On Tuesday, April 30th, Lee (her boyfriend) went to wake Brittany up where he found her having a seizure. She was taken to the emergency room where she was unresponsive and placed in an induced coma and transferred to Miami. She remained in a coma for 2 days to let her body rest while tests and scans were performed to find the cause of the seizures. MRIs showed a tumor in the right frontal lobe of her brain. Surgery was performed to remove the tumor, and Britt’s life was saved.
She is now rocking a half shaved head and badass scar. Since the surgery the tumor was tested and the terrifying news came back; Grade 3 Astrocytoma, an aggressive incurable cancer.
This hardworking little rockstar will have to undergo radiation treatments for 6 weeks straight Monday through Friday also followed by chemotherapy. The radiation will be for life given the form her tumor is. Due to circumstances she is unfortunately unable to work and will have quite a journey ahead of her. We’re hoping to help support and provide financial stability for as long as possible till she can get back on her feet. Returning the love and friendship she has given to so many people (and treats for their dogs) in the community.
We love you all!
