WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
“To know her is to love her” is a phrase that aptly applies to Joan Allen.
She was a truly remarkable woman that touched the hearts of each acquaintance and impacted the lives of each family member.
She had a gift for bringing people together, solving problems, repurposing things to make something new, getting things done and making events and people feel special.
She was our humble Heroine and true to form, battled her cancer with incredible tenacity, dignity and good humor. She “lived on borrowed time” for 6 years and cherished every moment with her loved ones.
It is her hope that we will continue not only her legacy of character and family traditions but support the awareness and research of Lynch Syndrome, the genetic disease that afflicted her and her family.
Thank you for your consideration. Live well.
The Allen Family
