Team Kara

In March of this year, our dear friend, Kara Ross, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, specifically a rare form of cancer called NETs - Neuroendocrine Tumors.

To know Kara is to love her. Her strength, positivity, and faith as she faces this challenge have been truly inspiring. Kara is the mother of a beautiful 1-year old daughter named Sophia. For Sophia and for her husband Matt, Kara is fighting with everything she has.

NETs is a very rare cancer, and so Kara is being treated at both MD Anderson and Emory to ensure she is armed with everything possible to fight. She is currently undergoing bi-weekly chemotherapy cycles, and while we pray that the chemo completely puts her cancer at bay, there is a likely potential she may need major surgery in the future. Unfortunately, at this time NETS does not have a permanent cure, so she has a long road ahead, but she shows up every day with a smile on her face and love to give.

Kara and her family wouldn’t ever ask someone else to take on some of their burden, so we’d like to do that on their behalf. The cost of her treatment and the travel required to help her seek the best care adds up. We know that she is surrounded by an amazing community of people who would love to support her fight and her family during this time, so we are starting this page so that financial burden can be lessened as she embarks on this journey.

Please help Kara with her fight!!! Even if you aren’t in a place to make a financial contribution, we ask that you continue to keep Kara and her family in your prayers, and please share this page with your network. Let’s come together for Kara the way we know she’d show up for each of us.
