<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:#050505">As many of you already know, our world was turned upside down in January when my wife, Jessica, was diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumor.
Since that diagnosis, we have been working with the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke and Jess has been the recipient of excellent care and support while at Duke.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:#050505">I am happy to report that as of last Friday, Jess has completed her radiation treatments! We are so proud of her and thank her every day for
showing us what true bravery and courage looks like! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

is raised through their annual walk of hope, which is held at the Duke Gardens every year. This year, the walk is on Saturday April 27th. We have organized a team for the walk and the link to the team is posted below.

<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Treston Clark-LaRue ('21) and I am reaching out to the Campbell family for support of one of our fellow alumni. Jessica Schavone ('21) was diagnosed at the end of 2023 with a high-grade infiltrating glioma brain tumor that she
recently started treatment for. She was diagnosed with Lynch Syndrome while we were in school together and because that new information, she knew to seek help when she developed some concerning symptoms.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is a fundraising 5K/Walk in April that Jess' family and friends will be participating in. If anyone is interested in participating or donating to the cause I will post the link below. There is also a facebook group created by her
family if you would like to post some words of encouragement as Jess embarks on her fight against cancer. Thank you for any love and support you can offer!<o:p></o:p></p>
