Fight Like Jess

On March 8th, 2016, Jess was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. For a 28 year old woman, it is a shocking diagnosis. When you hear that dreadful word, you don't think of a young, healthy woman in her prime, but breast cancer is more common among young women than most realize.

Everyone who knows Jess quickly realizes she is a strong, independent woman with a brilliant fire in her heart. While her strength is inspirational, it will be put to the test over the next year through various treatments including chemotherapy, surgery and radiation.

Jess is well known as a person who would do anything for anyone without asking for a favor in return. She is a caregiver through and through, only now she is the one who needs help. Her unwanted journey is taxing both mentally and financially. This benefit is to help ease some of the burden she will endure and raise awareness about breast cancer in women of all ages.
