Emily’s Story

Site created on November 13, 2020

On November 13, 2020, our dear friend Emily was diagnosed with stage 4 Adenocarcinoma. It's a rare and aggressive form of Colon Cancer. She is going to start treatment soon and our prayers are that the treatment would be effective in her fight against this news that has devastated her family, friends and church family.

This site is meant to serve as a place to receive the latest updates in Emily's battle. Here are some ways you help Emily and Doug:
