YAAAAYYYYY !!!!!! :-) We made it!!! $72,000!!! SOOO stoked!!! :-)

Its been an extreme journey and I mean that in soo many different aspects!! Extreme in the support I have been so lucky to have had. Extreme in the awesome people I have met a long the way. Extreme in the amount of effort and time that went into raising all this money. The times that I was extremely tired. :-)

Extremely thankful to EVERYONE that has helped me get to where I am, I wouldn't have even come close without it!! :-)

Hi, My name is Jennifer Lucas, I am 21yrs old and have just recently been diagnosed with an early stage of Her-2 Breast Cancer. I have had surgery to remove the cancer and at the same time I have had a reconstruction. I begun chemotherapy in August and have continued with my studies throughout. It has been an extremely trying time.

Due to the type of breast cancer I have I need a treatment called Heceptin. This is a prescription medicine used to treat early breast cancer, in particular when the Her-2 protein is present. My doctors have told me that I am only eligible for 9 weeks of Herceptin treatment. Where clinical studies show, having it for a year gives you a better chance of making a full recovery.

It is going to cost approximately $72,000 (GST inc). I need to raise this by the end of February ’08 so I can continue with my treatment. I am currently studying Physiotherapy, and have a lot to live for.

In January we are running a fundraising initiative called Bald Brand Buddy, organised so I can have a chance of receiving the Heceptin treatment. I would really appreciate your support.

Thank you :-)
Jen
