Dawn was recently been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and started chemo in June. This is her second fight so far… the first diagnosis was in 2021 and she has had chemo and radiation and 2 major surgeries so far. Dawn’s care givers have been amazing all the way thru the process.
Dawn moved to Orlando in January of 2021 as a single mom. Her friends have flown in from around the country, thanks to cheap airline tickets, and Dawn has had help with every treatment, every chemo, and every surgery. Thanks to her amazing team, Dawn was able to celebrate 1 year cancer free in February. Now she faces the bigger fight of stage 4 metastatic disease. Her team is still cheering her on every step of the way. She has another summer of chemo and another major surgery coming before the end of the year.
Dawn submitted a wish to take her caregivers to Discovery Cove in Orlando, Florida as a way to thank her team for all the help and encouragement and joy as she fights this disease. She knows she is not fighting alone! St.lla’s Wish Foundation is granting her wish to have a day at Discovery Cove to say thanks to as many as possible with a truly extraordinary day swimming with dolphin and snorkeling in the reef, celebrating life with them while she can.
