#AmandasArmy Helping a Friend Fight Breast Cancer

May 9, 2014 By Kelly 5 Comments

This week my friend Amanda (@highimpactmom and blogger at It’s Me, Amanda) was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Amanda is a married mom of two sweet little girls and she’s a spitfire with a positive attitude so we know she’s going to beat it.


As soon as we learned what was happening we created an army to help raise funds, awareness, and support. If there’s one thing the blogging community has taught me it’s how close we all are despite our physical distance. Nothing will stop us from supporting Amanda through her battle with cancer. She’s going to have a long fight but we’re already planning for the long haul that is ahead of her and her family.

Amanda is a fighter but she needs help.

Ways you can help Amanda Beat Cancer:

Donate:
Help us fight along with her with a donation. All funds go directly to her-there are no fees. Funds will be used as her family sees fit to help with medical bills and income loss.

Cards:
Cards and inspiration appreciated by mail.

Address to ship items:
Amanda Henson
PO Box 46
Campbellsburg, KY 40011

Shop for the Cause:
There are tons of items you can buy via CaféPress. These items designed by Emily and Julie and are available here: http://bit.ly/amandasarmy
This is an affiliate link that earns an additional 15% on top of the profits.

Share via social media
Write your own post or social media update using #AmandasArmy or click the share buttons at the bottom of the post to share.

Take Care of You
When you learn of someone so young having cancer it’s a wakeup call for so many of us to take preventative measures to care for ourselves. Do that self exam, get that mammogram, go to the doctor.

Donate Auction Items
Email me or fill out this form if you’d like to donate an item for a silent auction we’re organizing.

Join Amanda’s Army
Join us in the Facebook group created to organize Amanda’s Army. You don’t need to know Amanda to join. We’ve been so lucky to have people who are touched by her story who have never even met her come in to find out how they can help.
