Shelly King knows all too well how difficult battling breast cancer can be—the endless treatments, the emotional rollercoaster, and the challenge of getting to appointments all the time. For six months, she had to travel to Seattle weekly for treatments. It was exhausting, and on top of that, the costs of getting there started to pile up. Thankfully, the Kathleen Sutton Fund stepped in and helped provide her with ferry passes, making those trips a little easier and helped with the financial burden.
As a survivor, Shelly wants to pay it forward. She is partnering with Dezirae McCann and Andy Graham, owner of McCloud’s, to host a fundraiser to support the Kathleen Sutton Fund, helping other patients who are going through similar challenges. This organization was a lifeline for her and Shelly hopes to spread the word about how tough it can be to deal with the extra costs that come with a cancer diagnosis. Every donation will go toward helping patients afford transportation to their treatments—one less thing for them to worry about during an already challenging time.
For Shelly, this event isn’t just about raising money—it’s about giving back, supporting others, and showing just how much a little kindness can mean. She’s proof that even after the toughest battles, you can turn around and lift others up too.
