A very dear friend to so many, Tricia Pawlik, is sadly facing recent devastating news regarding the recurrence of her 2011 breast cancer. The unthinkable has impacted her life as her cancer has returned with a vengeance attacking her body at a very aggressive pace and speed. Over the past several months, she has been struggling with a persisting cough that progressively caused her to break several ribs and spread to multiple fractures of her spine/vertebrae causing her multiple visits to the emergency room. Fortunately, and unfortunately, she presented back to the ER, on Father’s Day, when she was unable to stand and walk. Her life changed on Sunday when she was told that her cancer had metastasized to her sternum, ribs, spine, pelvis, and skull. Even with such devasting news, Tricia shocked no one when she declared, “let’s fight and get as aggressive as possible with treatment”. We are currently in a waiting period to receive results of her bone biopsy to proceed with treatment plan as she remains hospitalized. As most of you know, she has two amazing kids, Keegan (22) and McKenna (20) who are by her side but will be heading back to college in September. This fundraiser is being set up to help assist Tricia as she embarks on the battle for her life. She is unable to continue her part-time job at a golf course and she will begin to face mounting medical bills that will overwhelm and distract her from her positive focus and fight for life. So many have already donated so quickly to Train Meals but this fundraiser is the more appropriate platform to help convene financial support for Tricia. Please consider any level of contribution that can help take the sting from her financial barriers, worries and challenges. We will keep you posted on her journey, and I will thank you FOR HER!
Most importantly – please pray and keep praying for our very dear, special friend who is a FIGHTER!
