Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
If you're visiting my page, you probably already know my story. But, if you don't-- In January it will be 4 years since I had surgery for my Desmoid Tumor. January 15th, 2009, I had a 12-15 pound Desmoid Tumor removed from my abdomen, along with my spleen and part of my Diaphragm and Intesines. At that time, we had no idea what a Desmoid Tumor was. But, I was incredibly lucky. My surgeons Dr. Julian Kim and Dr. Jeff Ponsky from University Hospital in Cleveland saved my life and now, 4 years later, I am healthy, strong, and beyond grateful.
There are so many other Desmoid patients who need help though. I was lucky beyond belief, but I want to help the patients who haven't been as fortunate as me.
On October 21st, my team and I will be running for answers and showing our support for all the patients who need answers and treatment.
All my love,
Brooke
