On March 24, 2009, my friend and sister-in-law, Lori Johnson, was diagnosed with Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma. A loving wife and mother of 3, at just 31 years old, this news came as quite a shock to Lori and our family. However, her strength and determination to beat this disease is an inspiration to all of those around her. We are fully committed to relieving her stress so that she can focus solely on getting healthy.

Lori is undergoing aggressive treatments to fight this disease and therefore will not be able to work. I am starting this fundraiser to help raise money to offset the costs of her treatments which are not wholly covered by insurance. Proceeds will go to Lori to help her pay medical bills and general living expenses. In the coming months, we will organize fund raising events and do whatever we possibly can to raise funds and spread the word about Lori's fight.

She has a long road ahead of her, but with your support, Lori can focus on getting healthy.

Thank you in advance for your contribution. It is amazing what we can accomplish when we all work together.

Be sure to read updates on Lori at her personal website:
