Benefit

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I’ve had several people inquire about the benefit I mentioned in my last post, forgetting that I have followers who aren’t also Facebook friends 🫣 I apologize, and will share some information here.

Brandon’s cousin’s wife, Ashley, is so very kind to be going to all the work of organizing this for our family. We are really humbled and grateful for all of the support pouring in around it!

The benefit will be taking place on Saturday, November 18th from 4-8pm at the American Legion in Anoka, Minnesota.

I will attach the event flyer here, as well as the link to the Facebook event page. If you have any trouble accessing it, please let me know. This Facebook page is where any updates will be posted leading up to the event. If you have questions about the benefit, you can contact Ashley directly at ashleyeb22@gmail.com

(I think this link will expire after a certain number of people access it, so if an updated link is needed, please let me know!)

Ashley is also asking that if possible, you RSVP with this Google Doc if you plan on coming. This helps ensure we have enough food and beer, and will speed the line at the door.

It would be so great to see some of you, if for nothing more than to say hello and give you a hug! As a result of COVID, cancer, and Sloane’s heart condition, we have been pretty cautious and isolated for the past few years. We have really been missing our family and friends.

Please do not feel obligated to come, but know that any form of support is absolutely appreciated!!! Feel free to invite/share with anyone else you think might be interested.

Thank you all, and I hope to see some of you there! 💜

Welcome! Thank you for being here! My name is Lauren Doyle. My husband and I have been married since 2013, and together since 2011. We have 2 wonderful kids and live in the Twin Cities suburbs. I have both a Master’s and a Doctorate and am a board-certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner. I also have the student loans to prove it. In 2019 our lives were turned upside down. Our daughter was born with a serious heart defect that required open heart surgery when she was just 5 days old. A couple weeks after her birth (while she was still in the hospital), I found a mass in my abdomen which required major emergency surgery to remove. At first, we were told it was just a fibroid; we learned about a week later that the mass was a rare and aggressive type of cancer – leiomyosarcoma. Through multiple surgeries and chemo, I have come out the other side, changed in many ways. I am now considered Stage IV, with a chemo-induced heart condition, and struggle with several other severe side effects from treatments. I continue to work and live and love as best as I can. I will not claim to have all the answers about anything, but I can tell you I have learned a LOT in my 35+ years of life thus far. My passion has always been helping and educating people in whatever ways possible. I am hoping this blog will allow me to do that for a broader population beyond the patients I see at work, share my unique journey, and help keep friends and family in the loop along the way. Thank you again for being here.
