Jill’s cancer fight

Hello everyone, I am fundraising for my best friend of over 30 years, Jill Breslin. A few months ago, after a routine mammogram and follow-up MRI and biopsy, Jill received the devastating news that she has breast cancer. Subsequent CT and PET scans unfortunately revealed that the cancer had spread to several bones, resulting in a diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. This news came as a complete shock, as Jill had no symptoms prior to her diagnosis and was living a very active life as a doting mom to her loving 6-year-old daughter and wife to her husband.

Jill’s treatment journey will be very long and challenging. But anyone who knows Jill knows that she is a fighter who has overcome and achieved a lot in her life. She is bringing this same fight and mental fortitude to her cancer battle, but she needs support. A big part of the challenge is the financial strain on Jill and her family. While Jill has medical insurance, she has already confronted thousands of dollars in medical copays, and her future medical bills and treatment-related costs will be long, unpredictable and expensive. This will be compounded by lost income due to her limited ability to work during treatment and the additional childcare costs that inevitably come with this life-changing diagnosis.

Jill is not someone who asks for help, even when she needs it. So I am asking on her behalf. Jill is already so humbled by the outreach, well-wishes and prayers from friends and family. Please keep them coming! If you are in a position to contribute to Jill’s GoFundMe, she and her family will be eternally grateful for your support. It truly will make a meaningful difference, alleviating some of the financial stress so she can focus her energy on winning this fight. And when she does, I can guarantee that Jill is the type of person who will pay your kindness forward.

Thank you in advance for your kindness, support and generosity.
