Over the EdgeLisa Petry

 

  

Please help me send Gilda's Club member Kristen Jordan "Over The Edge!!!" Kristen is living with cancer and would love to go over the edge as believes in taking full advantages of life and not letting a single day pass by.  Let's help Kristen live life to fullest and make this opportunity a reality for her. 

Kristen's cancer journey began when she was diagnosed with marginal zone nodal lymphoma this past November.  This rare form of lymphoma caused a large tumor in Kristen's lungs.  After spending eight days in the hospital undergoing tests and surgeries, she began her initial treatment consisting of 18 rounds of radiation.  Unfortunately, the radiation treatments did not shrink the tumor as planned.  Kristen continues to live with the initial tumor as well as other tumors that have developed over the past months. Due to the nature of the cancer and the effects of radiation, Kristen's current plan is to continue to closely monitor the tumors in her lungs and to follow the guidance of her doctors.

After Kristen's diagnosis, she joined the Gilda's Club community.  Kristen's description of GCK as a "beautifully supported community" is a perfect description of what GCK set out to do for its members.  Kristen is grateful for the mental and emotional support provided at Gilda's.  GCK provides members like Kristen an environment where are are like everyone else and never alone in your cancer journey.  Kristen's 5 year old son especially loves coming to GCK and hanging out in Noogieland!

Gilda's Club Kentuckiana is a place that welcomes anyone who has been touched by cancer and it is members like Kristen that make it a special place. It's truly amazing to feel the opened armed welcome every time you step through the red doors of the clubhouse.  Gilda's Club provides countless opportunities and programs for those affected by cancer at NO COST.  As a two year member of the GCK Associate Board, I have loved being involved in this community and have seen first hand the difference they make in their members' lives.  Now I am asking for you support to help GCK continue to provide our community with support for our friends and loved ones throughout their cancer journey.

Let's take Kristen over the edge!
