“Reason this person is a Gold Ribbon Hero: I first met Jenne almost two years ago, right after our daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia. She was the first chemo mama that I met and we had an instant bond. She took me under her wing and held my hand during some of my hardest hours. She never gave up on our fight despite being in the middle of fighting for her own daughter who has neuroblastoma. We dreamed of our girls growing up with the bond that only peds oncology patients can have but we recently learned that Jenne’s daughter, Alanna, has relapsed and only has a few weeks left to live. Jenne’s bravery through their entire fight has inspired so many families who are treated in our clinic. She is the epitome of grace, strength, and compassion. She has fought day and night for her daughter and continues to support so many of us who are in the middle of our own cancer battles. Jenne inspires so many and I would love nothing more than for her to be honored during this difficult time in her family’s story. Her daughter is leaving behind such an amazing legacy and it’s in part because of the mother who raised and supported her. Jenne is my gold ribbon hero! The picture I have included is from the day that Alanna was able to ring the “no more chemo” bell when she was discharged from the hospital after her last treatment, circa February, 2016.” – Jenica Lawrence
