Jill Adamski's Journey

Update - thank you all so much for donating! We have already hit our goal, but in the first two days of being in California we have incurred unexpected medical expenses. Any donations above the goal can still be withdrawn to use for Jill’s care and are greatly appreciated. 

As many of you know, Jill has been in an ongoing battle with a very aggressive and unusual form of cancer. She was diagnosed in April and has been going through chemotherapy ever since. The results of the chemotherapy have not been as successful as we had hoped. We took a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota last week. Unfortunately, they did not have any new treatments to suggest. We have now been referred to Dr. Sant P. Chawla at the Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica, California. He is quite hopeful and positive that he can help and would like us to take Jill to California for 6 weeks of treatment starting October 24th. We are excited and hopeful for this opportunity and are busy working out the details. We are looking for assistance to help pay for expenses during that 6 week period for Jill and her family (flights, airbnb, daily living expense etc.) Anyone who knows Jill knows how hard it is for her to ask for help - she takes pride in being the helper. But we know this is going to be difficult and want to take care of all the details so she can focus on her health. We know we have a great circle of friends, family, and community, and have felt the love and support quite deeply during the last 6 months. We continue to be so very grateful. Any extra money raised will be donated to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance to help further research efforts on these tough types of cancer.

I am Jill's daughter and I will be withdrawing the funds before we leave (Monday/Tuesday October 22/23) to a new bank account we set up specifically for Jill to use on the trip.
