Dawn Holt has been battling colon cancer for 6 years and is a courageous fighter. She was diagnosed after finding the cancer in her lungs and learning that it had originated in her colon.
Since her diagnosis she has had numerous surgeries and treatments. She has endured over 100 chemo treatments. Over 100!!!! On her 100th treatment she had stickers made to help others learn and be aware of colon cancer symptoms and to remind everyone to get checked. She is always thinking of others. She uses her story to raise awareness and to encourage others.
Dawn is a teacher. She spent years of her life teaching band and instilling a love of music with her students. Encouraging and educating. Cancer took her out of the classroom because of the toll it has taken on her body and stamina, but she is still a teacher. She continues to educate and encourage using her life experience.
Dawn’s wish is to take her husband Tim and son Evan on a family vacation. They would love to visit the Florida Gulf and Universal Studios before their son transfers to a college across country. Living in the Midwest makes a trip like this truly a wish and a dream.
Stella’s Wish Foundation is sending Dawn’s family and two friends to Westgate Palace Resort, just next to Universal Orlando Resort™.
