A lifetime of courage and resilience.
Jennifer was diagnosed with leukemia at just three years old. She endured years of difficult treatments before relapsing in 1984. Hope arrived through her twin brother, Jason, who proved to be a perfect bone marrow match. The transplant took place during Thanksgiving week that year.
Four decades later, Jennifer and her family celebrated the anniversary of the transplant that saved her life. The experience left painful memories, but it also helped shape her strength, her commitment to health, and her deep love for caring for children.
Now, as Jennifer prepares for brain surgery on September 10, the people who love her are gathering around her once again—with hope, encouragement, and support.
