We are here to raise money for Kate's battle against stage III colorectal cancer. Life decided to mix things up again, as it does. In a 6 week whirlwind, Kate was diagnosed with stage III colorectal cancer. Her intense and long treatment course starts 8/30/2021.  Her treatment course is as follows: 4 months of strong port chemo (FOLFOX) 8 rounds at St Francis in Shakopee, bi-weekly, followed by 6 weeks of milder pill chemo along with radiation, 5 x a week for 30 total sessions at Methodist in St Louis Park, followed by surgery once its determined how effective the treatments were. 

Due to her limiting insurance, much of this is not covered. She continues to work despite the pain and exhaustion she deals with on a daily basis and plans on doing so through her treatments. She will  have to drive to each of the treatments which will also eat up a lot of her time to work, rest, and spend time with her family.

If we can help ease some of the financial and emotional burdens that she is facing with this, Kate can put more energy into healing and enjoying time with her son Rowan and partner Rory Shanahan. Kate would never, ever ask for help, so we are stepping in to do it. Please help us rally with her and show her support. All donations will go towards household bills, medical bills and even daycare for her son.
