Helping A Friend Fight Cancer

by Veronica on June 2, 2010

For the second time in 3 years Kimberly Tessa is fighting breast cancer.

In an effort to help Kim with medical bills I created a website for others to get to know her, for her to share blogs and for all of us to raise awareness and donations.  Now that online fundraising has closed, we are in the process of holding a live fundraiser this summer in Chicago.  I am currently in the process of forming a committee of volunteers.  If you’re able to help in anyway, please contact me!

Thanks to the generous efforts of Michael Long, over $2000 was raised to help my dear friend Kimberly!

Watch Michael shave his head for Kim!
