LIVstrong benefitting Olivia Fecteau Hiltbrand

Hi, team LIVstrong, near and far. As many of you know, on October 27th - Olivia was diagnosed with a rare, fast-growing cancer called T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Olivia is currently undergoing rigorous treatment to attack and beat the cancer at the Cleveland Clinic. She has a long road ahead of her while receiving chemotherapy as an outpatient after living at the hospital for much of October and November.

Cancer treatment is met with costly out-of-pocket medical expenses, hospital parking fees and the stress that revolves around arranging meals and transportation while receiving treatment. We are organizing this fundraiser to assist Olivia, Brett and their families during the tough, but promising times ahead. While the disease has a long, ugly name, it is no match for an 8th grade Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee participant! (2003)

In addition to accepting monetary donations through this GoFundMe page, we are selling lime green LIVstrong wristbands (pictured below) for $5 or a donation of your choice. If you are interested in ordering a wristband, please contact the email address listed on the bottom this page by clicking the 'Contact' button under the 'Organizer' tab. Please include your full name, physical address and the quantity you would like to order. A $5 flat shipping fee will be charged for out-of-town orders. Share your photos on social media wearing your wristband in support of Olivia using the hashtag #LIVstrong.



Even Olivia's rescue dog, Buster, is supporting LIVstrong! (pictured below)
