This is the Fight for HER LIFE! Right now she is trying to fight IBC (Inflammatory Breast Cancer), the type that strikes young women and is very deadly! It is often not detected on mamograms. Please join in her fight and donate today! Her ONLY insurance is COBRA (and that would not pay for the life saving medicine OR the pain relieving medicine she needed. If you can, go to this site & help Kelly out. When this site started they needed $20,000. She is less than half way there. HELP her (& her family) out! There is a fund raiser in the works (Soon as details are known, we will pass them on), but Kelly needs your support NOW!! ---------- This year is the 97th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Uprising.
